Patna on 3 December, 2006. |
Dear Ms Singh
I am enclosing a
copy of my latest
communication dated
25th June, 2008, to
Shri Nitish Kumar,
Hon’ble Chief
Minister, Bihar on
the above subject
for your perusal.
Even after 1 ½ years
of the commission of
the heinous crime,
two of the
perpetrators
Mustquim and Sajogi
Rai, are still at
large. The reason
for this is not
known as also the
steps that are being
taken by the Police
to apprehend them.
Further, the
progress of the
Trial in the case in
Fast Track Court No.
5 of Patna, bearing
ST No. 188, State
Vs. Ramachandra
Mahto, appears to be
slow and it is not
clear when the
verdict will be
delivered and
whether the actual
masterminds and
perpetrators will be
brought to book.
Given the
unprecedented nature
and enormity of the
crime against two
innocent,
law-abiding women in
the State capital,
for no known
reasons, other, than
robbery which is
undoubtedly a grave
blot on the State
and society, I
appeal to you to use
your high position
of authority to
ensure that justice
is delivered to
Prof. Papiya Ghosh
and Malti Devi.
Do visit the
Website, “Honouring
Papiya” at
www.papiyaghosh.com
for it will provide
you with an idea of
the stellar academic
contribution of
Prof. Ghosh to Bihar
and education and
why she deserves

support.
It will be
appreciated if you
kindly acknowledge
this communication
and indicate your
response to my
Appeal.

Dear Shri Shahi,
I am enclosing, for
your information,
a copy of my latest
letter dated 2nd July,
2008, to Shri J.P.
Singh, Advocate &
State PP, regarding
the status of the
Trial related to the
brutal murder of my
sister, Prof. Papiya
Ghosh of Patna University
and her domestic help,
Malti Devi on 3 December,
2006, at 168, Patliputra
Colony, Patna, which
is presently listed
in the Fast Track
Court No. 5, Patna
and bears ST No. 188,
State Vs. Ramachandra
Mahto.
You
may already be aware
of the details of
Case and the extremely
serious societal issues
it impinges on. The
State Government,
under the Hon’ble
Chief Minister, Shri
Nitish Kumar, has
committed to provide
justice, in what is,
without doubt, an
unprecedented crime
of sheer barbarity
in the State Capital,
perpetrated on two
law-abiding, innocent
women in their homes,
for no known reason,
other than robbery.
Prof.
Ghosh’s life and work
was dedicated to Bihar
and education. It
will be appropriate
and befitting that
the Administration
takes the responsibility
to ensure that there
is neither delay or
denial of justice
in the Case. Precious
lives should not be
allowed to have been
lost in vain and there
should be no repetition
of such heinous crimes
in a regime which
reportedly places
a very high premium
on upholding the sanctity
of law and order,
regardless of how
highly placed the
perpetrators of crime
may be.
I request
you to kindly visit
the Website, “Honouring
Papiya” at www.papiyaghosh.com
to get an insight
of what a great loss
the State has suffered
in the shocking and
wanton murder of Prof.
Ghosh.
It is
my earnest request
that you advise the
concerned Authorities
to give the matter
focused attention
so that faith in the
system’s impartiality,
accountability and
efficacy remains intact.
An acknowledgment
will be deeply appreciated.

Subject:
No Response to appeals
dated 19 February
2008, 3 April 2008
and 8 June 2008 regarding
Brutal Murders of
Prof.Papiya Ghosh
and Malti Devi on
2 December, 2006,
in Patna
I am writing
to you for the fourth
time regarding the
failure of the Bihar
Govt till date to
arrest two of the
criminals involved
in the horrific murders
of my sister, Prof.
Papiya Ghosh and her
aged, invalid maid
Malti Devi, inside
my sister’s own house
in Pataliputra Colony,
Patna.
Named by the Bihar
police in this most
terrible case of violation
of human rights, as
Mustakeen and Sanjogi
Rai, they still remain
to be arrested more
than one and half
years after committing
the barbaric murders.
I had sought your
intervention with
the Govt. of Bihar
so that these despicable
perpetrators of the
most reprehensible
atrocities are arrested
and brought to trial.
But unfortunately,
as yet there has been
no response from you,
even months after
the original appeal
was made.
In the matter of the
recent Gujjar agitation,
your commission has
lost no time in rushing
to probe alleged police
atrocities. Of course
these are politically
sensitive issues and
have the potential
of causing much damage
to our Government.
This speaks for itself.
But what rights in
practice does the
country guarantee
for its law abiding
citizens? While we
fulfil our duties
when we fall victim
to the worst atrocities,
why is it that the
lofty public bodies
appointed as guardians
of our human rights,
most notably your
august body, are least
bothered to investigate
the atrocities or
see to it that all
the guilty are brought
to book?
Certainly all efforts
are being made to
project our country
as a beacon of democracy-
a champion of human
rights. But while
impressive bodies
with numerous members
and offices are set
up, what is the benefit
to the citizens? Because
what we see is that
some are more equal
than others. Why is
it that the same yardstick
is not used to measure
atrocities in the
case of all citizens?
Where are our basic
human rights which
our constitution guarantees
on paper?
Atrocities ignored
today for reasons
of expediency, will
cost the country dear
in the near future
with increasing criminalisation
of society.

Respected
Madam,
Subject:
3 Previous Appeals
for intervention to
bring about the arrest
of absconding criminals
in the brutal double
murders of Prof. Papiya
Ghosh and Malti Devi,
in Patna on 2 December,2006
remain unanswered.
My appeals to
you for your intervention
with the Bihar Govt.
to bring about the
arrest and trial of
two of the absconding
criminals involved
in the gruesome murders
of my sister Prof.
Papiya Ghosh and Malti
Devi, made on 20 February
2008, 3 April 2008,
and 5 June 2008 remain
unanswered.
The
absconding heinous
criminals, named by
the Bihar police as
Mustakeen and Sanjogi
Rai continue to roam
free, more than one
and half years after
inflicting horrific
and fatal atrocities
against two helpless
women.
What
are our actual rights
as law abiding women
citizens? This is
far from clear. While
on paper we are guaranteed
basic human rights
and lofty bodies such
as yours are set up
as guardians of such
rights, gruesome atrocities
like those inflicted
on Prof. Papiya Ghosh
and Malti Devi are
overlooked. While
in public pronouncements
there is no lack of
sentiment expressing
support for victims
of injustices, the
reality is that these
lofty bodies are only
interested in investigating
and condemning atrocities
against certain women
– apparently some
women are more equal
than others.
It appears
that the atrocities
inflicted on Prof.
Papiya Ghosh, a scrupulously
law abiding citizen
and her aged invalid
maid Malti Devi, far
away from the capital
and in Bihar which
already has an abysmal
crime record, have
been sought to be
ignored, and in time
given a quiet burial.
Your
deafening silence
and inaction, in spite
of repeated appeals,
only reinforce the
apprehension in the
public mind that unless
there is fear of disruptive
agitation or of a
political fall out,
bodies like yours
would rather prefer
to turn a blind eye
to violations of women’s
rights, even if they
are indescribably
brutal as in the case
of Papiya Ghosh and
Malti Devi.

Respected Madam,
Subject : Heinous Murders of Prof.Papiya
Ghosh and Malti Devi in Patna,2 December,
2006 . Appeal for Justice.
On the night of 2 December,2006, my younger
sister,Prof.Papiya Ghosh (53) of Patna
University,and her aged,invalid maid,Malti
Devi (72), were attacked and killed with
indescribable brutality, inside Prof.Ghosh’s
own house in Pataliputra Colony,Patna.As per
the police a gang of six dacoits cum
murderers had executed these ruthless cold
blooded crimes.
Soon after these gruesome double murders,my
youngest sister,Dr. T. Kumar, I.A.S.
Principal Secretary to Hon’ble Speaker,Lok
Sabha,Shri Somnath Chatterjee,Had written to
you about them,and you had been kind enough
to respond positively.
In their sheer viciousness and unparalleled
barbarity, these horrific crimes against
defenceless women, in the heart of a state
capital, have marked a shameful new low in
violent crimes against women in India.
Prof.Papiya Ghosh was a scrupulously law
abiding citizen, who had devoted her entire
life to the cause of higher education in
Bihar. Why was she subjected to such
terrible atrocities? We do not know.
Following the dastardly murders, though four
of the criminals were arrested and put on
trial,and a case filed in a Fast Track
Court, hearings still remain to be completed
even a year later.This effectively means
indefinite delay and uncertainty of justice
for the victims.
And shockingly, even one and half years
later, two of the criminals in these heinous
double murders, named by the police as
Mustakeen and Sanjogi Rai, still remain to
be arrested and put on trial.
Applications made under the RTI Act, for
information regarding the steps being taken
by the Bihar Govt. to apprehend the
culprits, have remained unanswered.
No doubt, august national bodies have been
set up to see that such terrible atrocities
against women do not go unpunished.
But strangely enough, while members of our
National Commission for Women rushed with
commendable alacrity to the scene of crime
in the Scarlett Keeling and Arushi murder
cases,Prof.Ghosh’s killing,even more
gruesome though it was,has been completely
ignored by them.
There has been a deafening and total silence
to my numerous appeals following the double
murders, to the Chairperson,National
Commission for Women,as well as to the
Chairman,National Human Rights Commission .
As an Indian living abroad, I am extremely
dismayed and disturbed by this unequal
stance,denoting lack of concern for public
grievances by the very bodies set up to
safeguard citizens’ rights.
Therefore,I appeal to you for your urgent
personal intervention,for bringing about
justice to these unfortunate victims of the
most reprehensible crimes against women.
Thanking you,

Sir,
Subject : Double murders of my sister
Prof. Papiya Ghosh, and Malti Devi in Patna
on 2 December,2006. Appeals remain
unanswered.
I had written to you on 19 February, 2008,
and again on 3 April, 2008, appealing
for your intervention with the Govt. of
Bihar to bring about the arrest of the two
still absconding criminals- Mustakeen and
Sanjogi Rai, who were involved in the
indescribably brutal murders of Papiya Ghosh
and her aged invalid maid, Malti Devi, in
her house in Patna on the night of 2
December, 2006.
In their sheer viciousness and unparalleled
brutality the inhuman atrocities inflicted
on the two defenceless women mark a new
abysmal low even in the appalling crime
history of Bihar and are a shameful blot on
any society that considers itself civilized.
Though the case against the four arrested
has been referred to a Fast Track Court (Case
no. ST no.188 of 2007,in Fast Track Court
no.5 State of Bihar vs. Ramchandra Mahto)
the proceedings still remain to be completed
even more than a year after the case was
filed. This means indefinite delay in
justice for the victims.
Prof. Papiya Ghosh was a scrupulously law
abiding citizen, who had devoted her entire
life to the cause of higher education in
Bihar. The oft repeated pronouncements of
our successive governments about the
importance of safeguarding women’s rights
and the enforcement of the most stringent
penalties when they are violated, need to be
followed up by appropriate action against
criminals, if the empowerment and equality
of women is to be become a reality in our
society
As an Indian living abroad, I find the
apathetic silence of your august body which
has been set up for the very purpose of
safeguarding and protecting human rights,
shocking. India is projected as a country
which upholds human rights, but such
insensitivity when rights are violated
speaks otherwise.
I, for the third time, request you to take
up the matter with the Govt. of Bihar to
immediately bring about the arrest and trial
of the two absconding criminals, so that
there can be justice for Prof. Papiya Ghosh
and Malti Devi - victims of the most inhuman
and diabolical crimes.
Thanking you,

Sir,
Subject : Murders of Prof. Papiya Ghosh
and Malti Devi, on 2 December,2006, in Patna.
Appeals to you remain unanswered.
Yours being the National body which has been
set up to safeguard the rights of women in
India, I had sought your intervention with
the Govt. of Bihar, to bring about the
arrest of the two absconding criminals
involved in the above mentioned heinous
double murder case.
I had sent you an email on 20
February,2008, and thereafter,a letter
dated 3 April,2008, with this
request. But till date I have received no
reply from you.
My sister Prof. Papiya Ghosh and her aged
maid Malti Devi, were murdered by a gang of
six intruders on the night of 2
December,2006.. The degree of brutality
inflicted on the two helpless women, inside
what should have been the safety of Prof.
Ghosh’s own house, remains unparalleled in
the crime history of Bihar,and marks a new
low in the barbaric atrocities perpetrated
on women living on their own, who trust in
the state to provide a safe environment for
life.
While your Commission has rushed with
commendable alacrity toGoa after the
Scarlett Keeling murder, and more recently
to the site of the Arushi Talwar murder, I
fail to understand how the brutal murders of
Papiya Ghosh, who was a scholar of
international repute, and of her 72 year old
maid Malti Devi in the heart of a state
capital, indescribably reprehensible as they
were, have not elicited any response at all
from you.
I would certainly not like to believe that
your commission would take up only selective
cases of atrocities against women,and
overlook others like the ones committed on
Papiya Ghosh and Malti Devi, even though
events speak otherwise.
As an Indian living abroad where we are
seeking to project our country’s image as a
progressive country, with a safe and secure
environment, conducive for investments, I am
extremely dismayed by the fact that the
Commission mandated by the Government to
safeguard and protect the rights of women in
India, has turned its face away in apathetic
indifference in a case of such horrific and
fatal atrocities on two law abiding yet
defenceless women, and the message it sends
out.

Sir,
Subject : Appeal dated 19 February, 2008,
Regarding Brutal Murder of
Professor Papiya Ghosh and Malti Devi on 2
December, 2006.
On the 19th February, 2008 I had sent you an
appeal through email, regarding the brutal
murders of my younger sister, Prof. Papiya
Ghosh (53), and of her aged, invalid maid
Malti Devi (72). They were murdered in cold
blood inside my sister’s own house in
Pataliputra Colony, Patna.
The horrific nature of these double murders
remains unprecedented and unparalleled in
the known history of crime in Bihar.
As per the police statement, quoted in the
press, six armed dacoits had intruded into
Prof. Ghosh’s house and executed these
heinous crimes with impunity.
The human rights of two helpless women have
been violated in the most flagrant way.
Barbaric atrocities have been inflicted on
defenceless women inside what is regarded as
the safest of places, - one’s own home.
Prof. Papiya Ghosh and Malti Devi’s basic
human rights – that of right to life and
right to property have been wrongfully taken
away.
Ironically these gruesome murders and
rampant loot have taken place within a
stone’s throw of the Pataliputra Police
thana, in a busy residential area..
That was almost one and a half years ago.
Since then, four of the gang of dacoits have
been arrested and the case committed to a
Fast Track Court. But that case is moving
very slowly causing many apprehensions to
remain.
And even now, two of the murderous gang,
named by the police as quoted in the press
as, Mustakeen and Sanjogi Rai, have not been
brought to justice and continue to elude the
police arrest.
A number of representations have been made
to the Chief Minister, Govt.of Bihar, to
bring the wrong doers to book, but there has
been no response.
My sister, Papiya Ghosh had devoted her life
to the cause of higher education in Bihar.
She was a scrupulously honest and upright
citizen and obeyed every law of the land. On
her part she relied on the state to provide
a secure environment where citizens could
lead their lives peaceably. But things
happened otherwise.
I would request you to kindly visit the
website www.papiyaghosh.com for more details
about her life and works.
The oft heard pronouncements of the
Government about the importance of
safeguarding women’s rights and providing
adequate justice, when they have been
violated need to be followed up by necessary
action when such violations do take place.
Otherwise they will remain as mere pious
intentions and society will continue to
treat and abuse women as second class
citizens.
You must have received my first appeal of
the 19th February, 2008. But not having
heard anything from your office in reply, I
am again voicing my appeal for you to
intervene to ensure that the two absconding
criminals, Mustakeen and Sanjogi Rai, are
arrested by the Government of Bihar and
brought to justice without further loss of
precious time.
The wronged souls of Prof.Papiya Ghosh and
Malti Devi await justice.

Dated: 3 April, 2008.
Respected Madam,
Subject: Appeal of 20 February, 2008
regarding brutal murders of Prof. Papiya
Ghosh and Malti Devi in Patna.
I had written an email to you on the 20th
February,2008, appealing for your
intervention with the Government of Bihar in
order to bring about the arrest of two
absconding criminals in the murder case of
my younger sister Prof. Papiya Ghosh of
Patna University and her aged invalid maid,
Malti Devi who were slain with indescribable
brutality on the night of 2 December,2006,
in Patna.
In their sheer viciousness and unparalleled
brutality, these double murders remain
unprecedented in the known crime history of
Bihar, and mark a new low in the atrocities
perpetrated on women, unlawfully attacking
and depriving defenceless women of their
basic human rights.
As per the police statement quoted in the
press, six armed dacoits had intruded into
my sister’s house in Patliputra Colony,
Patna and had executed these heinous crimes.
Incidentally, this house is only a stone’s
throw away from the police thana.
But since then only four of the gang have
been arrested and put on trial. And though
the case is in a Fast Track Court it is
moving extremely slowly, causing many doubts
and apprehensions to remain.
And shocking till today, almost one and a
half years after the reprehensible crimes
have been committed, two of the murderous
gang, named by the police, as quoted in the
press as Mustakeen and Sanjogi Rai, continue
to remain out of the reach of the law.
My sister, Papiya Ghosh, had devoted her
life to the cause of higher education in
Bihar. She lived on her own with her old
maid. A law abiding and scrupulously honest
citizen, she had depended on the state to
provide citizens with a safe and secure
environment in which they could live their
lives without fear or danger. But things
turned out to be otherwise.
May I request you to kindly visit the
website www.papiyaghosh.com for details of
her life and works.
On behalf of the grieving family, I once
again renew my appeal to you to take up this
issue, and bring the weight of your
authority to bear on the Government of Bihar
arrest and trial of the two absconding
criminals.
It is only when all the culprits involved in
these dastardly crimes are given exemplary
punishment will justice said to have been
done and society made safer for women, the
weakest section of society.
The wronged souls of my sister Papiya Ghosh,
and Malti Devi await justice.

Respected Sir,
Subject: Appeal for justice in the murder of
Prof.Papiya Ghosh of Patna University and
Malti Devi.
On the night of 2 December, 2006 my younger
sister, Professor Papiya Ghosh, was murdered
with indescribable brutality inside her own
house in Pataliputra Colony, Patna. Neither
was her aged, invalid maid, Malti Devi
spared. Prof. Ghosh’s house was also looted
of all items of value, big and small, with
the criminals even managing to drive away in
the victim’s own car.
As per the police statement, quoted in the
press, six armed dacoits had entered Prof.
Ghosh’s house and executed the heinous
crimes with impunity.
The killing of Prof. Ghosh was carried out
with a degree of savage brutality
unparalleled in the crime history of
Bihar.The worst kind of atrocities against
women were perpetrated with brazen
impunity,and human rights fatally violated.
Prof. Papiya Ghosh was a scrupulously honest
citizen who lived on her own,and had devoted
herself to the cause of higher education in
Bihar.
I would request you to kindly visit the
website www.papiyaghosh.com for details
about her works and life.
As a law abiding citizen, Prof. Ghosh
depended on the state to provide the
necessary security of life and property to
all its citizens.But things turned out
otherwise. Incidentally her house where the
multiple crimes took place, was a mere
stone’s throw from the Pataliputra police
thana.
Subsequent to the horrific killings, four of
the murderous gang have been rounded up, and
put on trial. But the case, although
committed to a Fast Track court, is moving
at snail’s pace.
And shockingly two of the culprits in the
reprehensible crimes, named by the police,
as quoted in the press, as Mustakeen and
Sanjogi Rai, still remain out of the reach
of the police even more than a year later,
in spite of numerous representations having
been made to the Chief Minister of Bihar,
for their speedy arrest.
Neither have petitions to the Chairman,
National Human Rights Commission, and the
Chairperson, National Commission for Women,
as well as other human rights organizations
to get justice, met with any response.
Even applications for information regarding
the absconding criminals, made under the
Right To Information Act, have not been
answered.
I, on behalf of the grieving family, look
for justice for the wronged souls of the two
innocents, relying on the courts of law to
give exemplary punishments to all in these
reprehensible crimes, so that crime can be
effectively deterred, and the atrocities
against women put to a speedy end.
In anticipation of justice,
|
