On 22 February 2007, Shahanara Bibi went to lodge a written complaint with the Government<br />
Railway Police, Ultadanga. However, the Duty Officer treated her as the SI had done at the<br />
Ultadanga PS.<br />
The SI has stated that Fatema Khatun’s case is not a missing persons case. She has refused<br />
to visit Jasimuddin’s house in Basanti Colony to conduct an enquiry.<br />
On 27 February 2007, after much persuasion by the human rights organisation MASUM, the<br />
OC of Ultadanga PS recorded a missing diary under pressure from the Deputy Commissioner,<br />
Partha Ghosh.<br />
It has since been learned that Jasimuddin informed police that he was present at the time of<br />
Fatema Khatun’s departure from Ultadanga Station, and that he stated that she left with Rs. 300<br />
and some goods made of brass. He has also threatened Shahanara Bibi with deep trouble if<br />
she pursues the matter further.<br />
Fatema Khatun is still missing.<br />

Victim(s) : Gopal Barui<br />
Perpetrator(s) : 1) Bhola Babu, PO; 2) Bonghi Babu, PO<br />
Location : Haripal PS<br />
Date of incident : 26/06/2007<br />
Case Details:<br />
Victim Gopal Barui loaned Rs. 30,000 to his friend Asit Adak so that the latter could start a film<br />
business. He did not obtain any written document regarding the loan.<br />
One year later, Asit Adak refused to return the money.<br />
On 26 June 2007 at around 10.00am, Gopal Barui went to the Haripal PS. Officer Bhola Babu<br />
collected Rs. 50 from Gopal Barui as a fee for bringing Asit Adak to the station.<br />
At 11.30am, since Asit and Bhola Babu had not returned, Gopal Barui left the station.<br />
Later, officer Bongshi Babu informed Gopal Barui that Asit Adak had been to the police station and<br />
had agreed to pay back the amount in instalments of Rs. 2,000. He told Gopal Barui that he had<br />
made Asit Adak write and sign this agreement, and that this agreement could serve as evidence<br />
that Asit Adak had borrowed money from Gopal Barui. However, Bongshi Babu did not show the<br />
agreement to Gopal Barui.<br />
