HC Deb 09 May 1927 vol 206 c43W
Mr. W. BAKER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India the result of his inquiry concerning the incident at Diburgarh, when a man named Rasih Nandi was sentenced by the first class magistrate to receive 15 stripes, but the warder whose duty it was to execute the order inflicted the stripes on another prisoner, Ghana Mahut, whose case was still pending; whether a full inquiry has been held into the incident; and what steps the Government propose to take in the matter?

Earl WINTERTON

Inquiry has been made as to the correct facts of this case, which was reported in a local newspaper, but there has not been time for a reply to be received.
