The Vanvasi Chetana Ashram (VCA) has been tirelessly campaigning to provide legal support to the tribals who have been affected by the fake "police encounters" and by the Salwa Judum. Several cases are in progress in the state courts and the apex courts of the country. Most noticeably, the Singaram killings, have gripped the attention of the national media. Here are some of the official police complaints or First Information Report's (FIR's) that have been filed by the VCA in relation to the different court cases. These are the starting points of the legal battles to address the wrongs done to the tribals. |

First FIR letter First FIR
To,
Police Inspector,
South Bastar, Dantewada,
Subject: Filing of the FIR for the murder of my father
My late father Baiko Dulla (son of Baiko Chinna), age 55, was arrested at home by Errabore Police force and SPO's. They also arrested my elder sister Baiko Bajare, age 22. Seeing this and fearing for their life, I and the other members of our family ran towards the forest. We came back after some time, and when I tried to find out the whereabouts of my father and my sister, I was told by people living in the Salwa Judum camp that they had seen my father being brought to the camp by police officers, and that they had later seen his corpse in the camp. Please file an FIR regarding my father's murder against the accused who should be duly tried under law.

Vanvasi Chetna Ashram (VCA) is an organization that provides legal aid and succour to the victims of Salwa Judum, security forces and Maoist violence. VCA renders inavaluable service by documenting instances of severe human rights violations. Since most victims of violence are too traumatized and too afraid to file complaints against the perpetrators, VCA performs the crucial function of helping the victims file not only First Information Reports (FIRs) which are a necessary first step for delivering justice, but all through the long and arduous judicial process. VCA has been working for the welfare of the adivasi (indigenous) people of south Bastar (Chhattisgarh, central India) since 1992. They have worked in areas such as rights awareness and advocacy, conflict mitigation, community health awareness and monitoring, universalization of elementary education, natural resource management and hygiene and sanitation, in remote regions of Chhattisgarh that severely lack access to basic public services. Since 2005,they have also called for government accountability and social justice in light of the violence against adivasis and their forced displacement from their villages by the state-sponsored militia Salwa Judum in Dantewada and Bijapur districts. Their stand against the violence by Salwa Judum and security forces has invited the ire of the state which has used the flimsiest of excuses to revoke VCA's FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) permit. On 17th May 2009, when the rest of India was riveted by the news of general elections, the state police demolished the premises of VCA. VCA is one of the few community organizations engaged in resettlement and rehabilitation of displaced adivasis by organizing individual and community support under very adverse conditions. See here for a list of villagers supported by the VCA in their quest for justice. |
