DURGAPUR, 7 JAN: Blatantly violating human rights norms, police dragged a youth with a rope fastened around his waist in front of hundreds of people in Durgapur Town this morning and that too to produce him before the magistrate who was attending a programme in an auditorium located about 200 metre away from the court compound.
Mr Amit Dey, who was accused of attempting to commit an offence under Section 109 of Crpc, was arrested last night and while taking him before Mr Biswajit Samaddar, the executive magistrate, who was attending a Voters’ Day programme in an auditorium, about 200 metres away from the Durgapur Sub-divisional Court compound, police officials forcefully put the rope in his waist.
Two police constables were guarding the accused from the court lock-up to the auditorium. Mr Dey was arrested by the New Township police from the Biddhannagar locality last evening. The magistrate said that police did a mistake in bringing him to the place where he was attending a government programme.
The state law minister, Mr Malay Ghatak, condemned the act saying the matter needs to be investigated properly.
Mr Ajay Nand, commissioner, Asansol-Durgapur Police, said this is a major violation and he has asked the concerned officer to file a report on this incident. sns
