In the case of ex-minister Aftab Alam, who was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Rautahat court on the charge of burning two youths injured in the bomb blast, it has been found that the case has been changed 10 times. In the first case, the defendant was ordered to be withdrawn, while the subsequent 10 hearings were postponed or not seen. In the 12th case, the verdict was acquitted after the entire trial was held on the same day.
12 times in 6 months, 3 times the public prosecutor unilaterally and 1 time together with the defendant's lawyer adjourned. Similarly, only 2 times Alam's lawyer postponed it. 4 times because of the judge, it was not possible to watch.
Aftab, his brother Mehtab, Sheikh Seraj (Saraj) and Badri Sahni, who were sentenced to life imprisonment on 13 Baisakh 2081 by the then judge of Rautahat, Matrikaprasad Acharya, filed a writ in the higher court against the order. After that, the first hearing was scheduled for 9 October 2081.
On 14th June during the 12th trial, the bench of judges Khushi Prasad Tharu and Arjun Maharjan acquitted all four people including Alam. Srinarayan Singh Rajput of Rautahat has not been able to sleep since the high court's decision. After all, it's been 18 years since he was restless. With some reminiscence, reasoning and quick wit, his disturbed sleep from last year returned somewhat.
But since the High Court Birganj bench acquitted former minister Alam on 14th June, his insomnia has been broken again. Trilok Singh, also known as Pintu, is the son of him who was thrown alive into the brick kiln. Last year, the district court in Rautahat decided that Alam should be imprisoned for life with all his property. "I fought for 17 years to get justice for my son's peace of mind, I ended up selling 4 bighas of land, and finally the district court decided that he was guilty," he says, "but the same decision was overturned by the high court today. The law is dead in the country.'
According to the indictment, Alam had made a bomb in the barn saying that it was necessary to make the atmosphere in his favor in the Constituent Assembly elections. Among those who were injured, Sreenarayan's son Pintu and another young OC Akhtar were thrown alive in a brick kiln in Rajapur by the Rautahat district court in June last year and four people including Alam were sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime of erasing evidence. had decided.
Judges Khushi Prasad Tharu and Arjun Maharjan of Birganj Bench of High Court Janakpur acquitted in the first hearing. After the court acquitted the 18-year-old case saying that no facts were found to prove that the incident took place, it seems that the wounds caused by the separation of Narayan Singh's son have been re-injured.
"The judge let the guilty party go because there was no evidence that it did not happen," he said in Kathmandu on Tuesday, "It did happen." Narayan Singh has this question with the Judicial Council. "When I myself reached the place of the incident the next day, I saw the damage there, all the villagers who knew it are alive now, according to the police report," he says, "There are injured people, according to their statements, they were hit by bomb shrapnel. There is a report from the hospital that he was injured. Hasn't the judge seen all this?'
Srinarayan came to Kathmandu from Saruatta, a village in Rautahat, saying that the verdict was flawed and that the judge had gone beyond the facts. A complaint was filed with the Judicial Council on Monday. He has mentioned in the complaint that he hastily acquitted the defendants by ignoring the basis of the decision of the district court, the statements of the eyewitnesses and the documents and evidence attached to the missile. He was studying in Sitamarhi, India. "He studied political science and was quick to make speeches," he says. I got it.'
It feels like today that he got the news only the day after the incident and when he went to Alam's house and met him, he replied that 'your son has gone to read Sitamarhi just now.' "I thought it would be after a leader like Alam told me and I even went to Sitamarhi to meet my son," he said, "but my son didn't reach there, he was killed alive in a brick kiln. How can I meet him?" He said that he went to the police station that day. However, the police refused to file a complaint. On the contrary, from the district attorney's office to the attorney general's office, they decided not to pursue a case against Alam. Against that, he reached the highest level with Ruksana. However, while the case was pending, Ruksana was shot and killed on 8th January 2067. "After Ruksana was killed, I was alone in the fight for justice, I was very afraid that they would kill me too," he said, "but even if they took their lives." Take, I am reminding myself till today that I will not bow down to injustice.
Alam Pakshadhar took some people in the village to spy on him and left the house and called them to inform them immediately. "I am insecure and anything can happen to me at any time," he told the media on Tuesday, asking the Chief Justice to listen, "I either want my son, or action will be taken against the judge who spares the killer of my son." He also said that the man from Alam came to the village many times to deceive him by taking money to settle the case and not to change his statement. "I'm not looking for money, it's justice," he said, "I will continue to look for that until I breathe." Feeling insecure after the High Court's verdict, he is also pleading for peace and security. Trilok is the youngest son of the Singh family. The elder Satyendra Pratap Singh is now taking care of his father. Only Satyendra and his wife are at home. Satyendra goes to the headquarters daily. Singh said that he gets scared when he is alone at home. District Police Chief SP Netramani Giri said that instructions have been given to the nearest post for the protection of Srinarayan.
Sreenarayan, who fought for justice, not only gave his time, but also sold 3 bighas of land in 17 years to give justice to the case. Now the value of the land is around 2 crore rupees. He plans to fight the final battle by selling some more land. Now he has 7/8 bigha of land in the village. He is thinking of going to the Supreme Court for justice, but he is busy with expenses. There is pressure on him not to go to the Supreme Court. "Some people from the village are using the people of Alam to tell them not to file a case in the Supreme Court," he said, "I will not tolerate any kind of abuse or pressure." The next journey is the highest.
Trilok, who was studying B.Sc. second year at Goenka College in Sitamarhi, India, came home on Chait 17, 2064. Trilok and his neighbor OC Akhtar, who were injured in an explosion in the shed of Congress leader Sheikh Idris at Rajpur Fardawa on 27th March 2016, were accused of throwing them alive in a brick kiln by administering an anesthetic to them. Father Sreenarayan went to Kathmandu and Gaur courts demanding action against leader Mohammad Aftab Alam, his brother Mehtab Alam and 11 others. After 12 years of the
incident, on October 11, 2076, the then District Police Chief SP (currently SSP) Bhupendra Bahadur Khatri arrested Alam, and the investigation started. In the background, there are big people who have been called to give statements in the bomb scandal that was suppressed under the guise of power. The then Inspector General of Police Om Vikram Rana, the then Additional Inspector General of Police (AIG) Kiran Gautam, former Chief District Officer Durga Prasad Bhandari, former Superintendent of Police Ramkrishna Lama were booked by the court on 19 October 2077. was called. Sreenarayan said that on the day of the
incident, Aftab's people came and called Trilok for campaigning. "I kept quiet because I thought it might have been campaigning during the election," he said, "but the next morning the people of the village told me that Trilok had been killed in an explosion." Didn't believe it for a while. I didn't have the courage to go to Rajpur village, which is said to be the place of the incident.'
The then District Police Chief SP Laxman Neupane (who was killed in the Tikapur incident), former Chief District Officer Durga Prasad Bhandari, and former Superintendent of Police Ramkrishna Lama, who arrived at the scene, prepared a bond saying that there was no explosion. was supposed to The advocate of Alam's side argued that the bond was not an incident until the end.
On 6 Baisakh 2065, Srinarayan reached the district police Rautahat with a complaint, but there was no hearing. The then SP Neupane did not file a complaint against Sreenarayan. In the incident, 20-year-old OC Akhtar of Saruatha was also burnt alive along with Trilok, and his mother Ruksana Khatun had also filed a police complaint with Singh. After the police did not pay attention to the complaint of both, they sent it by post on 9 Baisakh.
On 18 Baisakh, the police called both the victims and identified them. After registering the complaint, 5 people including Aftab Alam appeared before the district police on 9 June 2065. On the same day, the police took statements from 5 people and submitted the case to the district attorney's office. The prosecutor's office decided not to prosecute all of them, including Alam, on 30 Asar 2065. The District Attorney's decision reached the Attorney General's office in Kathmandu via the Court of Appeal in Hetounda and the decision not to proceed with the case was upheld. After that, Congress leader Alam was sure that nothing would happen to him.
Srinarayan and Ruksana filed a petition in the Supreme Court on 25 July 2065 demanding the annulment of the decision made by the attorney. On 16 June 2079, the then Chief Justice Sushila Karki gave a directive in the name of the government to conduct a serious investigation and prosecute the case while giving judgment on the writ against the decision of the Attorney General.
In the meantime, on the evening of 8 January 2067, some people hiding in the sugarcane fields shot and killed Ruksana while she was returning home from Maiti in Chatauna of Durgabhagavati Rural Municipality. After this incident, Sreenarayan was terrified that he too would be killed. Nothing has been revealed yet about the involvement of Ruksana in the murder incident. The file of the incident is still kept in the district police.
Even though there are rumors that there was an incident related to Alam's case, the police does not seem to have started the investigation. District Police Spokesperson DSP Deepak Kumar Rai said that since the incident happened in 2067, what happened would be known only by looking at the missile. "I have asked to see the missile of Ruksana's murder," he said. was According to the letter of the Attorney General's Office, the then SP Khatri (currently SSP) arrested Alam on 26 October 2076.
The police have arrested Mohammad Aftab Alam, his brother Mohammad Mehtab Alam, Sheikh Seraj, Sheikh Fazlehak, Sheikh Bhadai, Sagir on the charges of killing Sreenarayan's son Trilok and Ruksana Khatun's son OC by putting them alive in the chimney furnace. Alam, Badri Sahni, Gaurishankar Sah, Mukti Sah, Mohd Mobin Alam and Sheikh Jumain alias Sheikh Malkar and 11 other persons were charged with life imprisonment on 18 October 2076 with the demand of life imprisonment for the crime of murder, industry of killing and explosives. was registered.
In this incident, OC's wife Amna Khatun and father-in-law Samsul Mian changed their statements in court. Sreenarayan was shocked when both gave statements in favor of Alam. Now when they go to Ruksana's house, Samsul and her daughter don't want to talk. "Don't ask us anything about this matter," says Samsul Mian, OC's father-in-law, "There is no use talking about the past."
District Court Gaur ordered Alam to be sent to jail on 29 October 2076. During the closing arguments of the case, the Rautahat court sentenced four people, including Alam, to life imprisonment on 13 Baisakh 2081. The police considered strong evidence that 42-year-old Gourishankar Ram Chamar of Sitamarhi Gram Panchayat Musahachok Bairagania police station-2, who was injured in the blast, suffered severe burns on his neck and various parts of his body. Among the injured, he was the most injured.
But Alam's lawyer continued to claim that Chamar was brought with fake injuries. Another injured Safi Mohammad, 59, of Gadaita-2 Belwa Jagdi, Sarlahi, was hit by a bomb shrapnel in the stomach, it is mentioned in the police report. Shree Narayan's lawyer Pushparaj Paudel says that he is surprised that the High Court has acquitted everyone despite such a large amount of evidence.
Birganj High Court said that the evidence of the place where the bomb exploded on 27 Chait 2064 could not be confirmed, OC Akhtar and Trilok Pratap Singh, who were injured in the blast, were put in a tractor and taken to the nearby Raja Intabatta. All of them were acquitted saying that the plaintiff could not submit solid evidence that the deceased had been burnt, and that the prosecution claim that the deceased was burnt in a brick kiln could not be confirmed from the test report of the forensic laboratory. As the demand to investigate the incident increased, the then SP Ghimire took out the clay of the brick kiln on 16 May 2065 and the bricks on 17 May 2065 and sent them to the forensic laboratory of the police for testing. The High Court said that the prosecution's claim could not be confirmed. Saroj Kumar Sah, a resident of Saruatha, said that they were surprised by the incident of Alam missing.
Ex-minister Alam, who was released from prison, is now resting at his home in Rautahat after receiving treatment at the Annapurna Neuro Hospital in Kathmandu due to a stroke. In Kathmandu, Alam was admitted to the Neuro Hospital's ICU after he suddenly lost his speech and became weak in some parts of his body. After examination, the hospital confirmed that it was a stroke.
Alam's body, suffering from various diseases while in prison, has completely collapsed. He doesn't know the people who keep calling each other. Alam's son Dr. Rajik Alam claimed that his father was falsely framed without evidence. What injustice have we done? This is how we are persecuted. We need justice," he said. "Father's condition is critical due to his long stay in prison. In other words, we ourselves are the victims. We are falling into injustice.'
