Dear Prime Minister,

We humbly beg to draw your kind attention to the recent unfortunate incidents in Bihar's Forbesganj and Chandasi villages where police shot dead four innocent Muslim villagers. We hope your esteemed office will take note of our pain and anger that have prompted us to write this letter.
On June 3, 2011, in a police firing at Forbesganj, four people- including a pregnant woman and a seven-month-old baby lost their lives (as per newspaper reports. The incident is a glaring example of the state killing its own people in a dastardly action. A 7-month-old baby is killed in police firing. This incident stands unparallel in country's history.

The disturbing TV footage, aired by several news channels on September 14, 2011, showed how the policemen in Nalanda went berserk against an unarmed group of people who were mostly women. Outside the Noorsarai police station police caned the crowd who had gathered there to, in protest against the disappearance of a woman- allegedly abducted and killed by relative of some local policeman. As per news reports at least two dozen people, including women and children, were badly injured in the police lathicharge. The uniformed men who are supposed to protect the state's subjects and maintain law and order, were found (at Forbesganj and Chandasi village) indulging in acts of terror and brutality.

Attitude of the men in uniform was inhuman. It must be registered as a case of blatant human rights violation. Although the Government of Bihar has taken some punitive action against the involved policemen we are not happy with the quantum of the punishment. We demand stricter action against the policemen who went on a killing spree targeting the unarmed crowd.

We hope your office will initiate proper action in providing relief to the families who lost their near and dear ones in the incident.

With warmest regards,

Thankfully yours,



Aziz A. Mubaraki
National Secretary
