HC Deb 19 March 1908 vol 186 cc770-1
*SIR H. COTTON

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the report of a detailed local inquiry conducted by the hon. Bhupendro Nath Bose and Lieutenant-Colonel Mukherjea, I.M.S. retired, into the complaints of maltreatment made by certain inhabitants of Mymensingh; and whether, looking to the evidence showing that houses and shops were broken into by the police, that persons were assaulted by them, and property plundered, he will cause an official inquiry to be made into the facts of the case.

MR. MORLEY

As I stated in reply to a Question yesterday, the Local Government on hearing of the disturbances at once ordered an official inquiry.
