This is the report of Mrs. Shivani
Sanpui, a hapless Hindu woman who became victim to brutal police repression at
P.S. Basanti, District: 24 Paraganas (South), of late. She, as per latest
information, owing to severe wounds, has been admitted to Canning Subdivision
Hospital and according to
Dr. Indrajit Sarkar, superior physician of the very hospital, several parts of
Shivani including the private ones have been ravaged extremely. She is in a
critical condition there yet.
Shivani is a submissive Hindu
housewife and lives along with her husband and son (age 10) in village:
Tentultala, P.S. Basanti, District: 24 Paraganas (South). Her husband, Ranjan
Sanpui, is a day-laborer; hence, he has to live in Kolkata. Exploiting the same
situation, Islamists are leaving no stone unturned to perturb Shivani and her
family. She had a run-in with her Muslim neighbors like Amin Mollah, Gafur
Mollah and Momin Mollah regarding use of pond’s water a few days back.
On February 02, 2013, Shivani was
abused and assaulted by same Islamists (over the same issue) but when she went
to P.S. Basanti to lodge a formal complaint, Shivani was snubbed there
outright. Such an act of police bolstered Muslim radicals; it’s aftermath
became evident when Shivani’s son Adyaswar, while returning from school, was
thrashed by Amin Mollah and his accomplices brutally.
Ranajan Sanpui, after his return
from Kolkata, went to P.S. Basanti to lodge complaint against Amin Mollah, Momin Mollah and Gafur Mollah for thrashing
his son. Shivani accompanied her as well. But at this time too Abdul Khaleque,
Sub-Inspector – P.S. Basanti, remaining loyal to universal Islamic brotherhood,
refused to accept the complaint. When the Sub-Inspector was asked of the reason
behind rejection, he both abused and imprisoned Ranjan. This was followed by a
grievous development; Shivani was beaten hollow by Abdul Khaleque and when she asked
for mercy, she was beaten more. Abdul Khaleque, S.I – P.S. Basanti, did wreak
havoc on her private parts even unhesitatingly. Ailing Shivani was then shifted
to Canning Subdivision Hospital
and she is in a critical condition there still.
What was the motive behind
Abdul’s beastly attitude to Shivani? During the squabble between Shivani and
Amin, Momin and Gafur on February 02, 2013, she was not thrashed only but was
molested also. But she was snubbed in P.S. Basanti while trying to file an
official complaint as Abdul Khaleque had already been convinced by Amin and his
gang that he was a Muslim before anything or a police officer.
All these indicate that Abdul
Khaleque was ready to beat Shivani hollow and the horrific incident on February
23, 2013 (torment of Shivani) was its culmination. Moreover Abdul Khaleque
abused Shivani stating, “You are from Scheduled Caste, low caste; none is there
to save you from me.”
What conclusion can be drawn from
here? Bengal is being overpowered by a
precarious Islamic design steadily but there is simply no end to fantasize the
notion of secularism. If the incident of Shivani Sanpui fails to make us
conscious, more such will follow soon.
