This suspicion gains ground further when it is given out that when the wife of the deceased Pratap, Sugia Devi, approached the postmortem house she came to know that the dead body had already been handed over to one Yogendra Sah, Hawaldar, as per postmortem entries. It was also known that the dead body was disposed of, with the help of armed constables, near the Poonpoon Bridge in the Ganga basin near Danapur. After analyzing the entire episode and the FIR it appears that police had information about the presence of Pratap in the House of Sonu Paswan on the day and he was nabbed at the spot in a well planned action, he was a wanted person in police records. It is an admitted fact that Pratap belonged to on outlawed extremist group and he might be having a criminal record though the Bihta police denied any such entry in their record. Still, it does not confer any right to the police to kill him in a fake encounter.
Any criminal also is guaranteed treatment according to law.
His illegal acts are required to be dealt with under the established procedure of law. The enquiry committee is of considered view that the Pratap was killed in a fake encounter in violation of all norms of justice and human right guaranteed to the citizen of India and the police has tried to hush up the matter by trying to make a false case. The FIR is at variance with the facts of the incident as found by the Committee. Since the names of the police party involved in the case are on record, these guilty officers should be prosecuted for criminal acts and violation of human rights and rule of law. The State Government should be held liable for compensating the next of the kin suitably in the light of the directives of the Supreme Court as well as the Human Right Commission.
