Case summary

On 6th June 2013, one Dalit Activist Dr. Nana More working with NDMJ has been falsely implicated in false counter case by Rabale MIDC police for filing atrocity complaint against one NCP Corportor Navin Gawate. Instead of registering FIR against Navin Gavate the Rabale MIDC police arrested Dalit activist for false and manipulated charges of destruction of vehicle by fire. He as produced before JMFC court at Belapur, Navi Mumbai and court granted 5 days Police Remand (6th to 11th June 2013). But no action on the atrocity complaint against perpetrator Navin Gavate.

The perpetrator is coporator (Nagar Sevak) of Navi Mumbai Muncipal corporation from National Congress Party and holding political influence in the Digha area. Apart from this, the complainant is having criminal background and many criminal cases are registered against him. But the important thing which could be noted in all the cases registered against him is that he has nevertheless arrested in any case as either he got anticipatory bail or shown as absconding on police record. It shows the influence of the complainant to manipulate the false case against the applicant. 

To avoid the legal action on him by the police, perpetrator Navin Gavte manupulated fire incident through his party workers (CC TV Footage is available )and false FIR lodge against the Dalit Activist Dr. Nana More.

In fact, on 22nd May 2013, Dr. Nana More\'s house was demolished in Digha-Thane illegally without following the due law process and with feudalistic purpose with the help of some NCP corporator Navin Gavate. The house was purchased by Dalit Activist Dr. Nana More in the year 2011, the corporator was demanding exportation money for purchase of said house n his area but the Dalit Activist Dr. Nana More denied to fulfill his illegal demand therefore the said corporator is harassing dalit activist on various count and the police and other authorities are also supporting him for which one case under SC/ST (PoA) Act, 1989 is registered at Digha-Rabale MIDC Police Station in the year 2012.

On 22nd May 2013 his house is demolished without giving him any notice by the MIDC authority saying its illegal construction, where as many (atound 3000) similar houses are there surrounding his house but they are not demolished as they satisfied the illegal demand of said corporator. The police also denied to register FIR.

The written complaint is given to MIDC Police Station, and copy forwarded to Commissioner of Police, Navi Mumbai on 24th May 2013.

Since police kept it under inquiry and no action is taken against the accused Navin Gavate, the deligation of NDMJ visited Commissioner of Police, Navi Mumbai office on 5th June 2013, and met with Dy.CP Mr. Fattesing Patil, but his response was not proper and accused Navin Gavate also visited him at the same time. So we got confused that whether the police is managed or what?

Therefore we met with CP Mr. Sharma and discussed with him that some police supporting the accused Navin Gavate and therefore he his doing many illegal activities and harassing the poor people, he assured to take immidiate action withing 72 hours.

But , on 6th June 2013, early morning Police called Dalit Activist Dr.Nana More and arrested him in false case of destroying vehicles by fire of Navin Gawate.
