  Under article 412 IPC Chhotibai to be imprisoned for 7 years and pay Rs. 2000/- as fine
  

Our plea :

• The sentence should be converted to imprisonment instead of hanging, till the case is finally decided by the Supreme Court.
  
• The case should be re-opened in High Court and in case of failure it should be appealed in the Supreme Court.
  
• S. Ajay Singh’s hair has been cut forcefully. As he is a sikh , he should be allowed to keep his hair and live a sikh life .
  
• The younger brother of Sonu Sardar & Ajay Singh , aged 7 years name Kakke was tortured to death , in front of his mother . On 28th Nov. 2004, the police party came searching for Sonu Sardar & Ajay Singh . Sonu’ s mother & mother in law were sitting together at Sonu’s in laws house in Sanjay Nagar, Amlai. The police beat both the ladies Smt. Phulbai – Sonu’s mother & Smt. Munnibai – Sonu’s mother in law. And , also they kicked the 7 yr. old , younger brother Kakke . The policemen beat the young boy with their hands and fists , till he fell unconscious. The policmen went away after threatening the family. Seeing this , Sonu’s mother & mother in law decided to shift to Sanjay Nagar, Amlai immediately as the police were after their life, but when they reached the Railway Station , police threw their belongings on the platform , and also threw their unconscious son on the platform. The lady pleaded , that they let them go, as they had already beat their son to make him unconscious, but the police left their belongings on the railway station along with their unconscious son and took the ladies to the police station, there they were made to sign some document, which they don’t know about , as they are illiterate.
  
  When , they came back to the railway station , their son was still lying there, they boarded the next train to Sanjay Nagar, Amlai and on the way to Amlai , their son died. After , they reached Amlai, the police again followed them and forced them , that they cremate the dead body in the night itself. But, they waited till morning , and cremated the body next morning with the help of Mrs. Meena Singh and others of Sanjay Nagar, Amlai. A case has been filed against the concerned policeman ASI Pradyumana Tiwari responsible, but the case is pending in the High Court and more details are awaited.
  
  
• The INTUC General Secretary , Shri Gulab Mishra who is a known figure in that area has written to the Indian Human Rights Commision and spent Rs. 50-60 thousand till date to fight this case of Kakke aged 7 years , against ASI Pradyumana Tiwari . He told me over the phone that around 11 arrest warrants are pending against this ASI Pradyumana Tiwari , but due to his closeness to political figures in the state , he is still out and bullying around the public.
