Authorities urged to ‘dismiss’ suspended Assam DSP for Anti-Muslim comments

By TCN News,

Guahati (Assam): Not satisfied with mere suspension of Assam DSP Anjan Bora, a Guwahati based lawyer has written to many authorities seeking his ‘dismissal’ from service for allegedly posting several comments against Muslims on Facebook.

On February 12, Anjan Bora was placed under suspension by the state Home department sighting reason that he posted highly objectionable remarks in Social Media inciting communal divide which is unbecoming of a Government servant.

Before suspension he was posted as Deputy Superintendant of Police at Manja, Karbi Anglong district.
This suspension came into effect after screenshots of Anjan Bora’s venomous comments went viral on social media and Muslim organizations took strong objection.

On January 24, 2016, Bora wrote on his Facebook account that “We should join hands for a Muslim free Hindustan”; again on February 8, 2016 he posted a comment that “Mr.Rafikul Islam congress Kormi tohotor AZAN bonds korim aru tohotor nisina manuh BTAD t bohut Marilu. Bhale bhale Bangladesh gusi ja. Tur mukhot muti dim goria;” In English this translates as , “Mr.Rafikul Islam congress Kormi I will stop your AZAN, I have killed people like you in BTAD. Go to Bangladesh. I will urinate in your mouth goria”.

Seeking Bora’s dismissal from service, Aman Wadud, a practicing lawyer from Guahati on Monday wrote a complaint letter to National Human Rights Commission, the Assam State Human Rights Commission, State Police Accountability Commission Assam, National Commission for Minorities, Assam State Minorities Commission and the Commissioner & Secretary, Home and Political Department, Government of Assam.

In his complaint letter Wadud appreciated the prompt actionagainst Bora by the home department and stated, “Anjan Bora is a public servant and was holding a responsible administrative post, he claims to have killed people in BTAD. He threatens to stop the Azaan, he openly calls for a Muslim free India. Thus his act amounts to criminal intimidation and therefore he (accused) should be dismissed from his service”.

Wadud further alleges that Anjan Bora is also a drug addict, who has been suspended earlier too. The Guwahati based lawyer goes on to state in his complaint that “The accused has expressed his criminal intent several times and has also confessed about killing people in BTAD. If ever the accused is reinstated to his service he could abuse his power and position.

Demanding inquiry into Bora’s claims of killing people in BTAD, Wadud wrote, “I humbly pray before your kind office to take cognizance of the deeply offensive statements of the accused Anjan Bora, which violates various sections of Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act, and initiate an enquiry about his claims of killing people in BTAD”.
