Annual <strong>Report</strong> on Torture<br />
2007<br />
Case Detail:<br />
Victim Bedana Khatun is 13 years old. One of her neighbours is Safikul Saikh.<br />
Safikul Saikh kidnapped Bedana Khatun after giving her false news of an accident involving her<br />
father, Imaruddin Mondal. He eloped with her to Berhampore and forced her to marry him.<br />
After some time, Safikul Saikh took Bedana Khatun to Kolkata and then to Ludhiana. In this time,<br />
Safikul Saikh and his friends raped Bedana Khatun brutally and kept her captive.<br />
On 27 August 2006, Imaruddin Mondal lodged a missing diary at Domkal PS. He repeatedly<br />
requested action from the officers at Domkal PS, but they did not act. SI Md. Sakhauddin<br />
ignored and threatened Imaruddin Mondal.<br />
Eventually, Bedana Khatun was able to get a message to Imaruddin Mondal about her captivity.<br />
On 4 September 2006, Imaruddin Mondal successfully lodged a complaint at Domkal PS<br />
against Safikul Saikh and his friends u/s 363/366 IPC (kidnapping).<br />
On 26 September 2006, Imaruddin Mondal finally succeeded in procuring Bedana Khatun’s<br />
rescue with the help of the Special Superintendent of Police, CID <strong>West</strong> <strong>Bengal</strong>.<br />
On 27 September 2006 at 3.00am, SI Md. Sakhauddin took Bedana Khatun to the Domkal PS<br />
and produced her in court. She gave statements and received a medial check-up.<br />
At 6.00am, Safikul Saikh and others tried to kidnap Bedana Khatun, but failed and fled. Bedana<br />
Khatun and her tutor went to the Domkal PS with other students, but SI Md. Sakhauddin insulted<br />
them and refused to register a complaint.<br />
Imaruddin Mondal tried to lodge a complaint, but PI Jayantababu, SI Md. Sakhauddin, and SI<br />
Premasish Chattaraj treated them shabbily and refused to register a case.<br />
Si Md. Sakhauddin regularly visits Safikul Saikh’s house and spends social time with him,<br />
which worries Bedana Khatun and her family.
