POLICE
STATION: SEEMAPURI SHO:
SHRI R.S. THAKUR Police
Station Seemapuri is in the easternmost corner of the District and the
main residential colonies are the DDA Flats in Nand Nagri and Seemapuri.
Shri B.S. Bhola, Assistant Commissioner of Police being on leave,
Shri Parshottam Dass, Assistant Commissioner of Police (H.Q.) was looking
after his duties. DEATHS The
total number of persons killed in this Police Station, as per Police Station
records, are only twenty-seven.
This is not surprising as the deponents say that Police was providing
fuel to burn the dead-bodies to destroy the evidence.
The affidavits filed before the Justice Misra Commission indicate
203 deaths and Citizens’ Justice Committee has put the figure in its arguments
at 221. Compensation by Delhi
Administration has been paid to 205.
In addition to this, there have been at least 53 cases of arson
and looting as per the Delhi Administration records. EVENTS The
incidents of violence in this Police Station had started early in the
morning of 1st November 1984. The maximum killings had taken place in
Nand Nagri Colony. There
had been arson in the Gurudwara in Old Seemapuri, Nand Nagri and looting
in Durgapuri Chowk and 100 feet Main Road.
In the evening of 1st November, 1984 there were killings in New
Seemapuri DDA quarters. FIR' s The
complaint of the deponents that Police refused to register cases seems
to be correct because only four cases have been registered on 1st November,
1984, four on the 2nd November, 1984 and two cases on 3rd
November, 1984. No cases
were registered on 4th, 5th and 6th of
November 1984. Even
though ten cases had been registered, none of the FIRs gives details of
killings in Nand Nagri. In
fact, no action appears to have been taken either to stop these killings
or to bring them on record. The
deponents have said that their reports were not registered primarily for
the reason that they were naming the accused persons and they were asked
to go away. Case
No. 57 has been registered at a later stage on 18th February
1987 by Delhi Police against Dr. Verma, a social leader and others, who
were mentioned by the deponents in their affidavits. |
