Mr. Kirity Roy is the secretary of Banglar Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (MASUM) and is also the National Convener of Program Against Custodial Torture & Impunity (PACTI). Since the last two decades MASUM is engaged in monitoring cases of human rights violations by the Border Security Force (BSF) and other state agencies in the state of West Bengal. Towards this MASUM has registered a number of petition before different state and national human rights institutions and courts. The incident: As per the source, on July 19, 2018, Banglar Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (MASUM) planned to submit a memorandum to the Sub-Divisional officer (SDO) of Dinhata to bring to his attention concerns about the arbitrary restriction of movement of citizens by imposing section144 of Cr.Pc unnecessarily, which results in illegal confinement, torture and extra judicial killings. Towards this MASUM had organized a procession from Dinhata railway station to the SDO office to submit a memorandum on the issue. MASUM Secretary, Mr. Kirity Roy was leading the procession on behalf of MASUM. The procession reached the SDO office area about 12.55 PM. While the procession reached at the office of the SDO, the procession was stopped at the gate. A five-member delegation was sent to submit the memorandum. The Confidential Assistant of SDO Mr. Sushanata Saha received the memorandum as it was reported that the SDO, Dinhata was busy in his court. After submitting the memorandum, the delegation asked him to receive the memorandum with due procedure. He duly received the memorandum and returned the same putting his signature on the copy of the memorandum. However, after a while Mr. Saha came out of his office room, asked to return the memorandum copy, took it with him, went back to his room and didn't heed to the five members including Mr. Roy who were asking back the memorandum copy. A commotion broke thereafter and SDO official called the local police to the spot. On July 23, 2018, through a reliable source, MASUM came to know that the Dinhata Police had initiated a criminal case against Mr. Roy and other unnamed 50 persons vide Dinhata Police Station Case No. 259/18 dated July 19, 2018, under sections 341/186/353/427/565 & 34 of the Indian Penal Code. On July 24, 2018, at around 8.30 PM, MASUM visited the official website of the Coochbehar District Police and in FIR list section found no information about the FIR against Mr. Roy; on the contrary the list is showing the details of the FIR with same number but from previous year (2017). The above said FIR in the name of Mr. Roy has been fabricated and is being falsely filed by the police to cover up the incident, wipe off the evidence, destroy evidentiary documents and prevent it from being produced in the court of law. Further this action of the police amounts to false personation with an intention to harm the reputation of MASUM and its secretary Mr. Roy.
