Location : Bongaon, North 24 Parganas<br />
Date of incident : 17/03/2008<br />
Case Details:<br />
The above mentioned victims are students of Bongaon Dinbandhu College, falling under the jurisdiction<br />
of Bongaon Police Station. On 17 th March 2008 the opposition students’ union (Trinamul Chhatra<br />
Parishad) organized a demonstration at the college premises. They were going to meet the Principal<br />
and submit a demand, stating reduction of fees for the first year students. As a part of their demonstration<br />
they started distributing slogans. In the meantime, some students from the ruling student’s union (Students’<br />
Federation of India) and few external members attacked the agitating students. The victims tried to<br />
protect themselves and the Principal by locking the college gate, but the perpetrators managed to get<br />
inside breaking open the lock. They started assaulting with hockey sticks and other weapons. When the<br />
victims tried to approach Bongaon Police Station they were prevented by few miscreants. One victim<br />
named Susanta Nath was badly injured and hospitalized. Finally a criminal case was filed at Bongaon<br />
Police Station. Simultaneously another case was also registered at the instigation of the ruling students’<br />
union. But nobody was arrested in this case. The college elections which was scheduled for 10 th April<br />
2008 was postponed, because the SDO (Sub Divisional Officer) couldn’t deploy sufficient police force<br />
on the day of election. This proves the negligence of the police in this matter and the miscreants are still<br />
roaming about in the locality.<br />

went to the banks of the river to ease herself, and her husband Alauddin Mondal came for her security<br />
and stood at a distance. During this time Saharul Mondal came upon Jamiran with an evil intention. He<br />
tried to strip her naked, but she started shouting. Her husband rushed for help and the perpetrator ran<br />
away in fear. On 7 th April 2008 Saharul lodged a complaint at Jalangi Police Station against the victims.<br />
Following this Jamiran went to lodge a complaint against Saharul, but she was subjected to abuses by<br />
the ASI of the station. The officials denied registering the complaint at first, and after the intervention of a<br />
cadre of the ruling party a complaint was lodged. Despite two complaints filed, the police didn’t take any<br />
action. The perpetrators enjoyed complete impunity due to the deliberate inaction of the police.<br />
