Respected Sir,

 

We have received information of an extra judicial killing of a Muslim person namely Tiarul Sk.(deceased) by the Border Security Force on 27.11.2010 in the bordering areas of District Murshidabad, West Bengal. The victim was killed by BSF by shooting him from very close range. The victim's father brought allegation of murder against the perpetrator BSF jawans by initiating one criminal case at local police station and the police investigation is still pending.The guilty BSF tried to justify the killing by depicting the incident as an encounter. Our attached fact finding report gives details of the case.

 

The facts and circumstances of the incident demand that the Commission should intervene in this case as there are allegations of gross violation of human rights of the victim by the perpetrator BSF jawans.  

 

 

Hence we seek your urgent intervention in the following:-

 

·         The whole matter must be investigated by the investigation wing of the Commission.    

·         A Magisterial enquiry must be held as per the revised guidelines issued by NHRC dated 2/12/2003 in case of encounter death so that the people are assured that the rule of law rather than the rule of the gun is operative

·         Moreover the investigation of the police case initiated from the side of the victim's family against the perpetrator BSF jawans must be done in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Commission in case of encounter death. 

·         The victim's family must be given adequate reparation, support and protection.

 

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
