Victim(s) : Kanai Mondal<br />
Perpetrator(s) : 1) SI 2) OIC<br />
Location : Char Katla Mari Mouja<br />
Date of incident : 24/02/2008<br />
Case Details:<br />
Victim Kanai Mondal, aged 52, is a cultivator of land residing in Char Rajanagar village, falling under the<br />
jurisdiction of Raninagar Police Station. He owns three acres of land, which is located under Char<br />
Katlamari Mouja. On 24 th February 2008 the victim returned home from the field, and on the next day<br />
when he went in the morning, Kanai found a four feet long iron pipe, a barrel of tube well and a chain stolen<br />
from his field. He informed the matter to the SI of Char Moirosi Border Security Force Camp but no<br />
action was taken. Then Kanai went to Raninagar Police Station, where too his complaint was rejected at<br />
first. But after an argument the complaint was accepted but the police remained silent over the issue. It<br />
came to light that thieves usually came from Bangladesh and stole the farming tools of poor Indian<br />
farmers; but the BSF failed to protect the border areas of the country. It is also alleged that the officials<br />
themselves assisted such kinds of activities.<br />

Location : Katla Mari Mouja, Raninagar<br />
Date of incident : 07/10/2007<br />
Case Details:<br />
Victim Kanai Mondal, aged 55, is a resident of Rajanagar, falling under the jurisdiction of Raninagar<br />
Police Station. The victim had gone to Char Katla Mari Mouja Dag, on 7 th October 2007 in order to load<br />
his cart with paddy. Kanai had deposited his voter’s identity card at the Out-Post. While returning Sub<br />
Inspector Dutta Saheb of the BSF Camp detained the cart and brought down the entire paddy. An<br />
argument arose, owing to which the officer threw some of the paddy into River Padma. But there wasn’t<br />
any illegal article found in the cart. Kanai lodged a written complaint against Dutta in Raninagar Police<br />
Station. In revenge the AC and the Inspector of BSF lodged a counter complaint against the victim. In the<br />
meantime the above said officers were transferred, the result of which no communication was possible<br />
with them. Taking this as an advantage Raninagar Police took no initiative to investigate the matter. The<br />
victim had also lodged complaints before the Company Commander of BSF Camp, OIC of Raninagar<br />
Police Station, 2 nd BDO of Raninagar, SDO of Domkal, Co-BSF of Roshannagar, JDG BSF of Lalbagh,<br />
SDPO of Domkal, SP of Berhampore. On 25 th October 2007 Kanai again sent his complaint through<br />
registered post to the OIC of Raninagar Police Station, SDO of Domkal, and BDO of Raninagar. But so<br />
far no action followed.<br />
