*Attn. Mr. Pinak Ranjan Chakraborty*

*Sub:** Confinement of Indian Citizen in Rajshahi Jail of
**Bangladesh**despite period of punishment period is over.
*

Dear Sir,

We have come to know that one Indian citizen, namely, *Tujammel Hoque @
Bokul @ Tofajjul Hoque (23) s/o Late Hajrat Ali residing at village-
Farajipara, Post- Muradpur Araji, Police Station- Jalangi, District-
Murshidabad, West Bengal *was arrested by the Bangladesh Riffle (BDR)
personnel of Alaipur, Police Station- Bagha, District- Rajshahi, Bangladesh
on *13/08/07* for illegally crossing the Indo-Bangladesh Border and entering
into Bangladesh without any valid document. BDR handed over Tujammel to
Bagha Police Station. Officers attached to *Bagha Police Station filed a
case against Tujammel having number 11 dated **14/08/07 under section 4 of
Bangladesh** (Control of Entry) Act 1952* under laws of Bangladesh. He was
produced before *Md. Samsul Azam, the 1st Class Magistrate at **RajshahiCourt,
Bangladesh*. On 2.10.2007, Rajshahi court sentenced him for one month simple
imprisonment and Tk.500 as penalty in default of paying the penalty, another
month simple imprisonment as he pleaded guilty to committing offence before
the court.  The period which he had undergone imprisonment within that
period would be adjusted with total period of punishment. By way of
calculation the *period of punishment was already over on **13/10/07.  *

Despite spending full punishment term he has not yet been released from
Rajshahi Central Jail. He has been leading inhuman life in the Jail. He was
the only earning member of his family. In such situation his wife and his
mother are spending their days with serious problems for maintaining his
family with his two kids.

*Mr. Abdul Samad, father in law of Tujammel sent his complaint to the High
Commissioner of India. But it yielded no fruitful change upon the situation.
   *

The right to life and liberty has been seriously challenged in this
incident. He can not be detained beyond the limit of his punishment;
particularly the court ordered that after the punishment period was over he
would be pushed back to India. But the victim has been languishing in jail
without any reason. The human rights of the person are grossly violated by
inaction and negligent attitude of the governments of both India and
Bangladesh.

We draw your attention in this matter and urgently seek your intervention so
that the victim is set at liberty forthwith and he returns in India without
delay. It is also equally important that the persons responsible for
extended illegal detention of the victim in Rajshahi jail of Bangladesh must
be brought to book to stop repetition of such incident.

The silent and indifferent role of our government and failure to protect its
citizen is also shameful and deplorable.

Thanking You

Yours Sincerely
