MALDA, Feb 7:- Nineteen year old Mithun Saha alias Saddam, who took burglary and forgery as profession from his childhood, has been rehabilitated with the help of Malda Ramkrishna Mission and a few police officers.
On 31 January, the Malda Ramkrishna mission extended its help opening a tea stall at Gazole police station premises so that he can come back in the mainstream.
Today, the Malda RKM chief, Swami Divyananda Maharaj, visited his stall and donated some materials to develop it.
"At the age of his 14 Saddam started committing crimes and he was arrested several times and lodged in jail on charges of stealing and burglary. I met him several times in jails and asked him to come back to the mainstream but he could not change his mind", said Swami Divyananda.
According to police records, Saddam was arrested a few weeks ago on the charge of stealing and lodged in Malda jail. He committed his last crime at the house of a retired teacher Mr. Dukhu Rabidas on 8 January 2008 night at Panchpara village in Gazole police station.
Even he had forged the signature of his employer and committed crime when he was minor.
"Saddam told me that he would lead a normal life seeking help when I visited Malda jail a few days ago", Divyananda said.
The chief of the Malda RKM, Swami Divyananda, met Dukhu Rabidas and requested him to withdraw his complaint against Saddam so that he can get relief from the jail custody.
"We have been able to release Saddam from jail officially when kindhearted Dukhu withdrew the complaint against him. Finally I talked to the police officials for his rehabilitation", said Swami Divyananda.
Swami Divyananda today requested the police officials of Gazole to keep close eye on him so that he cannot commit crime again meeting his former criminal friends in off time.
Saddam has been supplying several cups of tea to the police officers in Gazole police station every day and police officials have also extended help so that he can lead a normal life.
According to local police, he lost his father many years ago and his mother eloped. One maternal aunt Minati Saha used to look after him.
Divyananda met Minati and asked her to take care of Saddam more so that he can lead a normal life with her at home. Minati is a slam dweller at Gazole town.
