Facts

is being supported by Lok Rajniti Manch and other human Right groups. We
hope immediate remedial steps will be taken by the Election Commission and
also special observer sent to the constituency. They are seeking an
appointment with you which I hope you will be able to grant them at the
earliest.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Rajindar Sachar

Sub.: Forcible Abduction By the forest officials of our Election campaign
co-ordinator, Mr. Gopal Dubey.
Sir,
We are a people's organization working for the upliftment of the
adivasis, rural people and other down-trodden masses of Khandwa and
Burhanpur districts of Madhya Pradesh. We encouraged the rural people to
field their own candidate in the Lok-Sabha election with a view to intervene
in the democratic process.
Today around 5.45 pm. ( 5.30 pm - 6 PM) some forest officials came
with two vehicles ( one white jeep and another white pick-up to Borgaon
market place. Our campaign in the market was finished. Workers were in the
office and some were taking snacks outside. Probably Mr. Gopal Dubey who was
in the office discussing with the workers was called by somebody on his
mobile. He came out and was looking for the caller who were stationed with
two vehicles at a distance. All except one were in plain clothes.
Suddenly, Gopal Dubey was grabbed by some people and forcibly put into the
white Jeep . Our people ( Ashok Jamra and Gopal Solanki of village
parsiapati) saw Gopal resisting and shouting for rescue. The forest
officials kicked and thrashed him and pull his hair to forcibly pushed him
into the vehicle. His kurta was tored off. Our people who were out chased
the two vehicles but they sped away. While chasing the above mentioned
witnesses could recognize only three abductors - Mr. Sharma ( a 2 star
deputy range officer),Mr. Bhuria, the range officer and Mr. Santosh, the
driver (all were in plain cloth ), only one officer was there sitting in
the front with his official dress. We immediately complained to the police
chowkey, Borgaon and the District Election officer, Khandwa , the collector.
Going by such earlier incidents, put to use by the forest
officials, we are very much sure that they will use torture method and
implicate him in false cases. The timing of forcible abduction is also very
significant and has been a convention followed by the forest officials in
this area. They abduct him in the evening, shall keep him in a confinement
and torture him mercilessly. Next day, he will be taken to a secluded place
in the jungle and shall be photographed with the carcass of a wild animal
and will be booked and then he will be produced before the court and sent
to the Jail This has been
- 3 -
the inhuman practice done by the forest department against which we have
had petitioned to the Hon'ble High Court , Jabalpur . The Hon'ble court
sent on enquiry team in the month of November,2008.The forest officials
along with the D.F.O. Burhanpur used all the means to suppress the people's
opinion During that time the D.F.O. Burhanpur had threatened Gopal Dubey
saying that Gopal was recognized by him and he would shoot him when in
sight.
Therefore, this is another instance of illegal and undemocratic
way to harass and torture the activists – violating every norms of human and
democratic rights. Moreover, this is also a means to terrorise and
disenfranchise the locals which the forest officials are involved in for a
longtime. We strongly suspect the hand of the Ruling Party to influence as
well as dissuade the voters and hamper our election campaign.We therefore,
request you to intervene in the matter, set our worker free and punish the
culprits.

Thanking you,
