SI arrested for beating tailor to death in Bihar
Express news service, Sun, Aug 07, 2011
A trainee sub-inspector posted with Town police station of Muzaffarpur beat a 50-year-old tailor to death on Friday. The tailor had tried to save two neighbours, being beaten up by three policemen in plain clothes.
This is the second incident of police atrocity in the last three months.
Police said that Shamshuddin, living near Dharam Samaj Sanskrit College in Kanhauli Dih area of Muzaffarpur, tried to intervene when the policemen in plain clothes, whom the tailor had taken for criminals, were questioning Mohammed Mohsin and Mohammed Chunnu in connection with suspected arms hoarding in the area.
Three cops led by trainee SI Shailendra Kumar Singh took offence to Shamshuddin interfering with police functioning. The three cops allegedly spared the two youths and started beating up the tailor.
As the tailor was pushed hard during his thrashing, his head hit some hard object. The tailor died on the spot.
Though the police remained in state of denial, defending the cops till Friday, DGP Neelmani finally ordered action against the errant SI, who faces a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The DGP said, “The SI has already been sent to jail. He will be suspended within three days.”
The DGP added that the role of two police constables is being looked into by Tirhut Range deputy inspector general of police.
The action against the SI was made possible by the massive public protest after Shamshuddin’s death. Irate protesters had set a policeman’s motorbike on fire. They later put Shamshuddin’s body outside the main gate of the college, blocking traffic and demanding adequate compensation and a job for the next of kin of the deceased.
Meanwhile, the Opposition RJD got another issue to hit back at the Nitish Kumar government.
RJD chief Lalu Prasad mocked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s claims on improved law and order. “Hardly had people forgotten police atrocity in Forbesganj, Muzaffarpur incident took place putting question marks on so-called good governance,” he said.
Four people from minority groups were killed in police firing at Forbesganj, Araria on June 3. A judicial probe is being carried out in the case.
The National Human Rights Commission and National Commission for Women also took serious note of the Forbesganj firing.
