Late Abhijit Sinha, Manashi's husband, was an Inspector of Central Excise
and was posted at DD-I State Office at 2, St. Georges Gate Road, Kolkata. On
4th July, 2002 after attending his office, Abhijit Sinha came back in the evening
and was staying at his residence. On the night of 4th- 5th' July, 2002 at about
1.00 O'clock while Manashi and her husband Abhijit were sleeping in their
bedroom, about 15 to 20 persons, some of whom were in plain clothes and some
of whom were in uniform carrying arms and ammunitions, came to their
residence along with caretaker of the residence. After they rang the bell, Manashi
and her husband opened the door. At that time, the persons, who were carrying
weapons pointing out at Abhijit, asked him to open the locks of the collapsible
gate. After the locks were opened, those persons entered the room and it is
alleged that they forcibly dragged Abhijit from the room. Some of those persons
entered inside the room and conducted a search into the house but did not get
anything. As Abhijit was being taken forcibly out of the residence, Manashi
raised the protest and asked for their identity and the ground for arresting
Abhijit. Manashi also wanted to know from those officers where they are taking
Abhijit. It is also stated in the complaint of Manashi that she wanted a copy of
the Arrest Memo but the officers did not pay any heed to her request.;
