Victim of Discrimination: A Student from Manipur Falsely Implicated and Jailed in Ghaziabad
21st November, 2015
The Manipur Students’ Association Delhi strongly condemns the manner that a student from Manipur was falsely implicated and jailed in Ghaziabad (Delhi NCR). It has come to our notice that, the student has been pursuing Bachelor of Fine Arts in the Institute of Fine Arts (IFA), Modinagar. On (...) two locals who were acquaintances of the victim student persuaded him to accompany them to his institute.
What was their intention was unknown to the victim. However, to the utter surprise of the victim, the two locals vandalized the computer laboratory of the Institute. Thereafter, they escaped after alarming the guards, who caught the victim.
Following the revelation of the victim, the Police arrested the duo, but, only to be released after some backdoor negotiations. The onus of the charges was on the victim, who has been languishing in the jail for the last eight months.
The legal approach to ensure his bail out remains unsuccessful. According to the family, the lawyer who handles the case merely adds to the burden with frequent charges of lawyer’s fee, without sincere efforts to achieve justice for the victim. All these appear to be victimization by an unholy nexus of the police and the lawyer.
MSAD, therefore, appealed to the concern individuals, civil societies, NGOs and the Government of Manipur, to provide with necessary helps to ensure justice for the victim and his family.
