KARIMGANJ, April 22: Aburam Das, son of late Joychand Das cast his vote in the Lok Sabha poll of Karimganj (SC) constituency on April 16 this year at a polling booth under Ratabari (SC) LA constituency. As per the certified copy of the electoral roll of 2005, the name of Aburam Das (56) and his wife appeared against serial number 759 and 760 of house no. 198 under part 54, covering Amarkhal and Rajarampur areas of Ratabari (SC) constituency.
But as per a government document, Aburam expired in the year 1995. The case in brief was that, Chargola branch of the United Bank of India under Ratabari PS area had lodged an FIR on October 21, 2000 on the basis of which police arrested him and subsequently released on bail. A GR case (no. 1044/2000) had been lodged and in the year 2003 and the case was dropped by the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) on the ground that ‘the report of police in the backside of summon of accused Aburam Das which reveals that the accused expired in the year 1995’. Accordingly, the case was dropped by the SDJM due to the death of the accused. Now the question arises as to how a person, who expired in the year 1995 according to government document, can cast his vote in the year 2009.
Aburam while talking to this correspondent, expressed his anguish over the entire matter and sought justice from the government. During the last six years, he said, he had written several registered letters to the President of India, Prime Minister, Chairman of Human Rights Commission, Chief Minister of Asom, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi, BJP leader LK Advani, Union Minister SM Deb, Deputy Commissioner of Karimganj, Superintendent of Police, Karimganj, etc but the matter had not been given due importance though the President of India and the Chief Minister among others received his letter. Dead Aburam is unable to remain alive officially despite his efforts over the years since 2003. THE SENTINEL
