Editorial :
Salutes to Indian Armed Forces
In
the recent past , our soldiers sacrificed their lives near china border
while protecting our motherland. Since independence our armed
forces are protecting our country from enemy aggressions against formidable odds.
We as citizens of india must raise above divisions of caste, religion,
ideologies and must stand United behind our Soldiers and government.
Since centuries Bharatha Khanda was looted by intruders, occupied my
Muslim rulers , British, french, dutch, portuegues everybody taking advantage
of our divisions. A divided house will never be strong & will never be
respected by neighbours. UNITED WE WIN , DIVIDED WE LOOSE. We are
all Indians.
We salute you
our brave Soldiers. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.
Your's Sincerely

should hear the matter from start to finish?
2. Were Bombay High
Court Chief Justice Mohit Shah or the principal accused Amit Shah aware of any
alleged inducements offered to Judge Loya to ensure a favourable judgment in
the case?
3. Does Justice Mohit
Shah deny the allegation by Judge Loya’s sister Anuradha Biyani, that he
himself made an offer of Rs 100 crore in return for a favourable judgment?
4. Who made the
arrangements for Judge Loya’s transportation to Dande Hospital on the night of
his death, and why was this not in a vehicle from the government guest house or
an ambulance?
5. Do Dande Hospital
and/or Meditrina Hospital have records indicating what medication was provided
to Judge Loya while in their care, and who was with him at the time?
6. What was the time of
Judge Loya’s death according to the records of Meditrina Hospital and when do
call records show this was intimated to Judge Loya’s family? Did the death
occur at 6:15 am or before 5 am on 1 December 2014, or did it in fact occur
before midnight?
7. In what
circumstances can a person die of “coronary artery insufficiency”? Is it
possible for a person in good physical health without any cardiac history or
other markers of this condition, experience “coronary artery insufficiency” and
lose their life
8. Why was a
post-mortem report ordered into Judge Loya’s death when no panchnama or FIR was
filed terming it a suspicious death, and why was Judge Loya’s family not
informed about the performance of a post-mortem? Alternatively, were any
reasons for performance of post-mortem report recorded, where were these
recorded and who recorded them?
9. Who signed the
post-mortem report pages as “maiyatacha chulatbhau” (ie paternal cousin brother
of the deceased) when no relation of Judge Loya was present in Nagpur? Does the

Judge Loya’s family?
11. Does Judge Loya’s
family still have the allegedly bloodstained shirt worn by Judge Loya at the
time of death which the post-mortem report claims was dry?
12. Is it true that the
CBI was only given 15 minutes to argue against the discharge of Amit Shah in
subsequent hearings of the case before Judge Loya’s successor in hearing the
case, Judge Gosavi, as against three days for the defence lawyers?
13. Who made the
decision to announce MS Dhoni’s retirement from test cricket on 30 December
2014? Was this decided by the player or the BCCI and did any external source

14.
Sohrabuddin/Tulsirram Prajapati fake encounter case was transferred from
Gujarat to CBI court, Mumbai by the Supreme Court in the year 2012, directing
that same judge will preside over the trial from start to finish. Judge Utpat
was designated as special CBI Judge in Mumbai. He allegedly reprimanded the
accused for not appearing in his court and fixed the case for June 26, 2014. A
day before, on June 25, 2014, he was abruptly transferred. Judge B.H. Loya was
posted in his place. Judge Loya died in suspicious circumstances on November 30,
2014. Post that, shri Amit Shah has been since discharged and CBI refused to
file an appeal against the order of the discharge.
15.

to allege that he was being offered a Rs 100-crore bribe plus residential
flat/property in Mumbai for delivering a verdict in favour of the accused by a
former chief justice.
16.
Judge Loya was stated to have died on account of heart attack. ECG and

in Ravi Bhavan, Nagpur did not even recall that Judge Loya ever stayed in Ravi
Bhavan.
20.
There was no reason for three judges to sleep in a room with only two beds when
adjoining rooms were empty. Why did the 15 members of the staff then not know
either about the stay or the heart attack? Why were no entries made in the
occupancy register?
21.
Family of Judge Loya has publicaly stated that clothes on his dead body had
blood stains, especially near the neck area.
22.
Post-mortem of Judge Loya was conducted on December 1, 2014 without information

recording of Judge Loya’s name in post-mortem report.

other colleagues of Judge Loya, who were allegedly informed about the pressure
being put on him, also died under suspicious circumstances. One associate,

The murders of
Phanidhar Borah-George Floyd and us
— by Asish Gupta
In recent times, a
surge in a wave of protest shook the United States of America against the
killing of George-Floyd, an African-American citizen, by the US police.
The democrats from all over the world have sympathised with this protest.
At about the same time Phanidhar Borah died in Jajori in Nagaon district of
Assam as a result of police torture. Two constables of Jajori police station
beat up Phanidhar after some verbal altercation. He was initially admitted in a
local hospital in Nagaon with severe injury and was later transferred to
Guwahati Medical College Hospital in critical condition. He died there on the
4th of June. Hardly hundreds and thousands of people in Jajori have protested
against this killing. Two people die in two parts of the world, and the killers
are people belonging to the same profession. However, in one case, the protest
has spanned continents, and in another, it is somewhat muted. The father of a
girl, 55-year-old Phanidhar Borah, was beaten to death by two policemen and
people’s protests remained confined only to Jajori. It may also be possible
that many people in areas adjacent to Jajori or other parts of Nagaon district
might have voiced their anger in the social media against the murder of George
Floyd. Still, alas, even they might have missed the incidence of Borah.
This contrast in the
extent of protests with a change in place, time or personalities involved is
nothing new all over the world and especially in India. The people of this
country witnessed several struggles during the two-hundred-year of the British
rule and also in independent India, and endured the brutal tyranny of
foreign and Indian rulers. The ultimate horror of police brutality was
witnessed by the people of India decades ago. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, no
list of countless people crippled by police brutality can be found as it has
become a daily occurrence. There is no need to look too far back. During the
ongoing lockdown, at least 16 very ordinary people have died due to police
torture or because of police firings. The people of this country has restricted
their protests by circulating some viral video clippings or commenting on
social media. One such video in which a policeman knelt on the neck of Mahesh
Kumar Prajapat in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, has gone viral. After watching the clip,
some of us have felt that Mahesh Kumar is lucky to escape death while George
Floyd died under similar treatment by the police in Minnesota, USA. However,
forget about a storm, not even a gentle breeze of protest took place.
In recent India when
and where the storm of protests will hit is mainly determined by a combination
of place, time and persons involved. One such protest took place in December
2012 and in the days that followed after the rape and death of Nirbhaya. The
site of the protest was the capital of the country, Delhi and the time was 15
months before the LokSabha elections. It was by that time the rightists,
keeping an eye on the forthcoming election, has entered the election arena with
all their might to seize power. The person in this context is the only daughter
of a middle-class family. The people of the country, mainly the upper and
middle classes, roared against the rape and brutal murder along with coverage
from the media. The water flowed far and wide. The central government enacted
new laws against rape and murder. The convicts were punished after going
through various ups and downs of the judicial system, and four of them were
hanged. Nirbhaya’s mother went to sleep in peace. According to the National
Crime Records Bureau, there were 38,947 rapes in 2016, 32,559 in 2017 and
33,977 in 2018. However, such storm of protest against these rape incidences is
not raging. This report is not about rape and murder. I mentioned this Nirbhaya
incidence only to bring out the nature and the backdrop of the protest
movement.
The character of
protest in the world’s largest parliamentary democracy is extremely narrow in
the case of deaths due to police torture. Isolated demonstrations against
police brutality in the area of the deceased or near the police station or at
most in the district in which the deceased lived may take place. However, after
that, the case would be hushed up, andthe topicwould go to oblivion. Only if
there is an active,democratic rights organisation present in that locality, the
matter will reach the court. But on the whole, the people of the country or the
states concerned, are indifferent to death in police custody. We speak out
against the decades-long oppression of people of African origin in the United
States and the newspapers cover these protests with photographs and articles
covering several pages. On the contrary, the news of the murder of Phanidhar
Borah of Assam is captured in a single/double column of a regional newspaper.
We have come across
reports on the parliamentary leftists protesting against the assassination of
George Floyd with placards in remote villages or towns of this country. But we
do not find them taking up protest marches against the hundreds of people dying
in the police custody in this country. Of course, there is a problem. In a
parliamentary democracy, active political parties have the opportunity to share
power at various levels of governance. For example, leftists were/are in control
in states like West Bengal, Tripura and Kerala. In all these three states,
there have been several deaths in police custody during their rule, but the
Left Front governments have not taken any step that could set a new precedent.
Same is the case with any other political parties present in electoral
politics. As a result, the parliamentary political parties cannot form any
significant, broad-based movement against death in police custody. Most of the
people of the country are organised under the umbrella of parliamentary
politics.And that is why thousands of people cannot take to the streets against
police brutality and death in custody in India.
Replying to a question
in the LokSabha on the 16thof July, 2019, G Kishan Reddy, Minister of State for
Home Affairs, said, “Cases of deaths in police custody registered by the
National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in 2018-19 were 136 and of those in
judicial custody, 1797. The corresponding number of cases involving alleged
deaths in police custody and judicial custody in 2017-18 were 146 and 1636
respectively and in 2016-17, 145 and 1616 respectively.” The NHRC had
recommended disciplinary actionagainst erring twenty government officials over
the death of a detainee in custody in these three years. Earlier, a report by
Human Rights Watch, an international human rights organisation, published on
the 19thof December, 2016, said that 591 people had died in police custody
between 2010 and 2015. In almost all cases, no erring police officer has been
convicted. In nearly all cases, the cause of death was shown to be suicide,
illness or natural death. Lawsuits have been filed against police personnel in
only 33 of these cases.
In a democratic
country, the growing death toll from ever-increasing incidents of rape-murder,
torture in police and prison custody will be prolonged, but the storm of
protest will not rise! We would be happy and thrilled to see a photograph of
Miami police kneeling and confessing to George Floyd’s murder, but we will not
learn from that photo! We will never conclude that there is no ideological
difference between the police in Minnesota, USA and the police in Jajori,
Assam! All of them are basically the protectors of the hegemony and the ruling
class.
