Raj cops crushed my feet under their boots: Amir recounts horror
Kolkata: "I have a persistent headache, my body is in extreme pain," says Amir Sheikh, choking up while speaking to TOI over the phone. The 22-year-old from Malda spent days in police custody after he was picked up by cops in Rajasthan on suspicion of being an illegal Bangladeshi immigrant and then pushed into Bangladesh. He returned mysteriously to Bengal on Wednesday. Amir had been working in Rajasthan. "Cops arrived suddenly at the construction site . They said it was a verification drive... the next 48 hours were absolute hell," Amir says. "Three of them (cops) stood on my legs. As their heavy boots made me howl in pain, they thrashed me and kept on insisting that I tell them my native place of birth. I showed them my school leaving certificate and even my birth certificate. But they would not listen," recounts Amir. It came as a surprise to Amir when he was taken to the airport and flown to Bengal. "The police took me to an area I was not familiar with. They told me it was the international border. There, cops and BSF beat me up and threatened to shoot me if I did not do as they told me to. Then... they forced me to cross over," claims Amir.
