BHUBANESWAR:
Leaders of the Samruddha Odisha (SO) party led by its president Jatish Mohanty on
Wednesday moved to the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC)
in connection with the forcible arrest of Sushree Das, a Zilla Parishad member,
by the police in an undemocratic way. A five-member team would visit Talcher on
Friday to take stock of the health condition of Das, said party general
secretary Prabir Mohanty.
According to general secretary Mohanty,
police forcibly arrested the ZP member on late Tuesday night and sent to jail
when she was staging dharna in front of the State Assembly protesting company’s
monopoly attitude at Tentulei in Talcher area. At 2.30
am on Tuesday, a few plain-clothed police, who had come in two
private cars, took her from the dharna place by convincing her in the name of
the discussion. The police took her to Talcher immediately and sent her to jail
by lodging false cases under section 143, 149, 186, 194, 341 and 501 of IPC
against her, he added.
SO senior vice president Gora
Chand Barik warned the concerned officials, who had taken her to Talcher, would
be responsible for her health condition.
Notably, Das was arrested when she
had sat in fast in front the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s residence
protesting the NSL Company for not providing compensation to the displaced, illegal
land acquisitions and forcibly construction of boundary wall on the
agricultural field. When she could not get opportunity to sit in dharna in
front of the Naveen Niwas, she continued her dharna at the Lower PMG.
