Shillong, June 1*: The CSWO alleged that the 12 girls who were alleged to have been tortured by 5 activists were actually singed with a hot ‘Roti Tawa’, with the full knowledge of the Tura Police, by goons used by the SP West Garo Hills, Mukesh Kr Singh and Bruno A Sangma. If this report is right then the CSWO will demand for immediate medical examination of the girls by a team of medical doctors from Shillong, a full CBI inquiry and immediate arrest of Mukesh Kr Singh and Bruno Sangma.
The Organization also strongly suspects all the recent killings and staged kidnaps and encounters as diversion tactics by the Police to avoid the query on the 2 custodial deaths.
On the 12th of May the CSWO received a phone call informing them of the pregnant girl being scared and needing protection. The CSWO had told the group who was with Balsan that they should approach the DC immediately.
The CSWO also rang up a news reporter in Tura asking the reporter to inform the DC about the fear of the girl. Immediately after some time the CSWO received information that the girl had gone to the Police station to give her statement and also received information that Balsan was beaten up outside the Police station by the men of Mukesh and Bruno.
Then after some time on the same day, the CSWO received information that Balsan and the minor son of Jaynie sangma were detained in the Tura PS.
The Police have not shown the arrest of Balsan and the minor boy, on the 12th May 2014 when the boys were actually arrested then and Balsan was also taken for medical examination on the 12th May 2014 and had his hand bandaged due to fracture because of the assault by the men of Mukesh and Bruno on the 12th itself.
The very fact that these two officers are not arrested is a grave betrayal by the Government where many lives were lost to cover up the atrocities of Custodial Torture by men in uniform.
People even police personnel have send feelers that they are scared to speak out, as long as these Supervising Officers are posted there. This explains the delay by the Social Welfare in making public the report of the Magistrate ordered by the DC West Garo Hills.
The CSWO now strongly suspects that the whole unrest in West and south Garo Hills is the outcome of the 2 custodial deaths in West Garo Hills, and South Garo Hills, and if such atrocities by police is allowed where they even get a woman killed to invite international condemnation and divert the two custodial deaths, then the CSWO will take the whole matter up and report it to Prime Minister and the Special Rapporteurs of the UN on Torture and Violence against women.
