Chinmay Das, who was confined within the prison walls, was struck with grief when he received the sad news of his mother’s sudden demise. Chinmoy Das, who has been facing legal cases and judicial custody for a long time, was released by the court merely to attend the last rites on humanitarian grounds. 5 hour emergency parole (Custody Parole) approved.
When he was brought to the cremation ground amid tight security under the extension of a few hours granted by the court, he could not control his tears after seeing his mother’s body and wept bitterly. His biggest regret was that he was not present with his mother during her last moments, nor could he have any last conversation with her.
Chinmoy Das was brought directly to the cremation site in a police van under strict surveillance of the jail administration and local police:
-
Strict legal conditions: While granting parole, the court had given clear instructions that this parole would be in police custody. Chinmoy Das was not allowed to talk to any outsider, media or any witness related to the case.
-
Emotional moment: As soon as Chinmoy Das bowed before his mother’s mortal remains surrounded by policemen, the family members and relatives present there could not stop their eyes from becoming moist. Chinmoy Das kept crying for a long time while touching his mother’s feet and the security personnel standing there also looked uncomfortable with this scene.
-
Funeral Rituals: As per family tradition and customs, he performed the necessary rituals of funeral pyre and final farewell. During this period, tight police security was deployed around him at every moment.
According to family members, Chinmoy Das’s mother was suffering from age-related diseases and mental stress for some time. Due to his son being in jail, his health continued to deteriorate.
-
Unfulfilled wish to meet: Family members said that the mother was repeatedly requesting to meet her son while she was hospitalized. The family had earlier also filed petitions for bail or interim relief on humanitarian grounds, but due to legal complications, they could not get their release earlier.
-
Not seen before death: Ultimately, by the time the legal procedures were completed and the parole order was issued, the mother had said goodbye to this world. The deep regret over this was clearly visible on the faces of Chinmay Das and his entire family.
The stipulated time limit of 5 hours ended as soon as the primary procedures of the last rites were completed:
-
Police officials immediately took Chinmay Das back into custody following security protocols.
-
Without any delay, he was sent back behind the bars with the same security convoy.
-
According to local lawyers, the family is again preparing to file a fresh application in the competent court for a few days of regular interim bail for the Trayodashi or Shraddha rituals to be held after the funeral.
