On 25 November 2006, a Communist Party of India activist (hereinafter, “attacker”) and his<br />
companions attempted to kill Niranjan with a weapon. Niranjan was taken to the Ghutiari Sharif<br />
Outpost and a General Dairy was lodged. Niranjan also filed a FIR with the Canning PS for<br />
attempted murder. As a result, the attacker was arrested on 4 April 2007 but he posted bail one<br />
week later.<br />
After the attacker’s release, he began threatening Niranjan. Niranjan received reliable information<br />
that the attacker might attempt to ransack his house. Niranjan took this information to the Ghutiari<br />
Sharif Outpost and lodged a General Diary on 7 February 2007. He also appealed for police<br />
assistance but was refused.<br />
On 13 February 2007, Shyam attacked Niranjan and his shop and attempt to rape Kalpana.<br />
Niranjan subsequently filed a criminal case at the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Alipore.<br />
Accordingly, under the order of the court, a police case was started on 24 February 2007 at the<br />
Canning PS. The Canning PS Officer-in-Charge instructed the Officer-in-Charge of the Ghutiari<br />
Sharif Outpost to investigate the matter. However, the attackers have a very good relationship<br />
with the police, and, thus, no arrests have occurred.<br />
