Nisha Daimari

This 21-year-old petite female from Assam is a freedom fighter. This mother of two has reportedly been been arrested on false charges by Bangalore police. These charges include “extorting crores of rupees from the rich in north-eastern states of India.” Nisha is a leader in the banned Assam Independence organisation, the National Democratic Front of Bodoland.

 

Indian police have tortured Nisha and Dwimalu Daimari (28) and Jani Dung (22)after they were arrested from a house in JP Nagar, fifth phase, on Saturday. Daimari and Dung are also said to be leaders in Bodo Independence Movement, which has thousands of members in its ranks. In order to make their case, the rampantly corrupt policemen planted objectionable materials in the house, where they were living. These included a laptop, mobile handsets, about 25 SIM of different states, about a thousand condoms and pornographic material.

Nisha’s husband is said to be Ranjan Daimari, the chief of National Democratic Front of Bodoland. The Indian police, know for corruption and graft,  trumped up charges against Nisha and other Bodoland fighters.  Claiming,” her brief in the outfit was to extort money from the rich.” After Assam police arrested Ranjan in May, fearing for her safety Nisha flew to Bangalore along with Daimari and Dung. The Indian police In Bangalore brought “50 cases” against them, after they landed in the city on May 5. They rented a house in JP Nagar.

Here are some of the fake charges against a petite and good looking woman, who would not bend to Bangalore police torture.

“Nisha and Dwimalu purchased many SIM cards of different states. They procured a list of rich people in north-eastern states. Before she called a rich person, she gathered all details about her target with the help of NDFB cadres. The laptop recovered from the trio had details about hundreds of rich people in the North-East.”

Description of the flag:

The flag is a yellow over red bicolor of unknown ratio. At the fly end of the red field there are two white crossed objects, but I have no idea whether they are weapons or tools or sacred objects.
