A Minor Hindu Boy – Rajan Chandra Das (16) son of Khokan Chandra Das (F) and Ms.Chinu Rani Das (M) of village Uttar Da, P.S. Laksam , District- Comilla Bangladesh forcefully converted to Islam. The guardians of the victim are in great threat.
Rajan Chandra Das, a student of Class X of Laksam Pilot High School, Dist. Comilla was a meritorious student of the School. The boy was kidnapped from the house of Khokan Chandra Das by Chattra Shibbir activists on or before 19.10.2002. A general diary No. 953 dated 20.10.2002 was made by his legal guardian Khokan Chandra Das at Laksam P.S.
Rajan came back later on from the possession of Chattra Shibbir on 30.4.2003 in the house of his parents. But the Chattra Shibbir Member Fariduddin filed two G.D. Entry No. 95 dated 03.05.2003 and G.D. Entry No. 101 dated 03,.05.2003 in Lalsam P.S. on the plea that Rajan embraced Islam and he has been renamed as” Mohammad Abdullah Al-Mamun” and he should not stay at the house of his parents.
Accordingly Laksam Police as per above general diaries brought the victim Hindu boy from the house of Khokan chandra Das most illegally and produced him in the court of Magistrate Ist Class, Comilla. The Magistrate without any lawful authority handed over the victim boy Rajan to Chattra Shibbir activist – Fariduddin instead handing over the victim to his legal guardian by its order dated 03.05.2003.
The legal guardian of the victim appeared in the Office of HRCBM-Dhaka to-day, 6th of April, 05 with an appeal for getting their minor innocent son back as their son is being tortured by Chattra Shibbir activists. We have perused the date of birth of the victim as 30.10.1988. We have been given to understand by the guardian that if they claim their son by way of any deceitful means they would be killed. The legal guardian of victim also passing their days with utmost insecurity and threat. The mother – Chinu Rani Das grieves for her son every moment because her son begging/collecting money from door to door for Islamic Revolution as instructed by Shibbir.
The guardians are very poor and they cannot afford to apply to High Court for justice. As per law the minor cannot embrace any religion other than his own where the legal guardian is alive.
