While agreeing on these points, I believe that without any hestiation she must
file an FIR as that must go on record in the police station. To file an FIR is
the right of every citizen in this country. not to do so is to acknowledge that
the police or enforcers have control over our basic rights for justice. this is
unacceptable and means giving in to the State.
if necessary a group of journalists may also file an additional FIR. there has
been so much publicity to this incident that I do not see how any police
officer will dare refuse the FIR.
as civil servants know, the only publicity that government and officials hate is bad
publicity. they are happy with anything "postive" written about them.

I would advise the following actions, which Afrida might like to consider.
1. File a complaint before a Judicial Magistrate First Class or the Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Guwahati against the erring policemen
2. Also simultaneously file Complaint petition, narrating complete facts of
the incident before the State Human Rights Commission
3. Submit another Petition before the State Women's Commission.
An FIR with Police is unlikely to produce the desired results.

When Afrida argued that the people have the right to know what happened to the
fasting women then she was manhandled by the male security persons. When she
resisted all the security men dragged her kicked her and beaten mercilessly.
She was immediately taken to the hospital where doctor found multiple injuries.
She is now under treatment in the International Hospital, Guwahati.

Suggestion:
* They probably acted upon political (Gogoi agent) backing
* So it might do something if an FIR is filled immediately
* Connect Guwahati Press Club with International Federation of Journalist
(IFJ)
[an FIR may prevent security guards repeating same, if not political.]
