Electricity Bill pending against Companies in Odisha
Dear friends
 It is witnessed  in Bhubaneswar  that  in case of pendency of  Electricity  Bill  against any common  consumers for two months,  the  Bill collectors of  Electricity  Dept.   use to threaten  to disconnect   electricity , unless the arrear  bill is paid.  But   though crores of rupees are pending against the Companies for years together, the CESU has not taken any step to collect the Bill from them.   It has been exposed through RTI.  RTI Application was  submitted to  PIO, office of Central Electricity  Supply Utility ( CESU)  seeking  information  about  electricity  bill  pending  against   more than 5 lakhs business houses, corporate  houses  etc..   on 28.10.16,  the PIO  supplied the information.  Electricity Bill worth around thousands of crores of rupees is pending against more than 700 companies  and business houses.  Major Companies against whom the electricity bill  is pending  is  as follows.

Nexus of Achyut Samant with Soumendra Priyadarshi, IG, Police, Central Zone exposed
Dear friends

On 3.12.17, in order to keep police officers in good humour for his vested interest, Prof. (?)  Achyut Samant strategically and meticulously sponsored “Geeta Yagyan” organised by his henchman Bijay  Swain  in Raghunath Pur Block of Jagatsingh Pur district and conferred “Sabyasachi Sanman Award” to Soumendra Priyadarshi, IG of Police, Central Zone. Few questions are haunting me how Soumendra Priyadarshi deserves to get such award? Has the organising committee undertaken any survey and followed selection procedure to nominate Sri Priyadarshi to get such award or is a designed to satisfy this police officer for vested interest.  How a police officer will receive award from known land Mafia Sri Achyut Samant who is involved in lot of land scams and acquired 100 acres of land in Patia of Bhubaneswar through fraudulent means and a defamation case filed against Sri Samant in Bhubaneswar Court by a leading woman activist of the state Smt. Sanjukta Panigrahi.  Is there any principle in Home Dept. that the IPS officers will receive award from land mafias in public function.


On 8.9.17, I had personally appraised Soumendra Priyadarshi in his office about my allegation against  Achyut Samant and his  promoted and patronised henchman  Sri Bijay  Swain  who is involved in number of illegalities and corruption   in Raghunath Pur Block and my  FIR  dated 18.5.17 filed  against both Achyut Samant and Bijay  swain  and refusal of police to register the case. I got astonished how  Sri Priyadarshi shared dais  with these two criminals  and received award  from one criminal Sri Samant.   The public allegation of police-criminal nexus under Nabin Patnaik Govt. is quite visible from this programme on Geeta Yagyan.  Finding no justice and repeatedly harassed  from the police , I had filed  a case in Odisha Human Rights Commission.  The Commission has registered my case 3827/17 dt.8.8.17. and issued notice to SP, Jagatsingh Pur.  Though four months passed, SP, Jagatsingh pur has not filed response to the Commission.  It is evident that how the police of Jagatsingh Pur is having strong unholy alliance with criminals.

 I am going to file complaint against Soumendra Priyadarshi to DG, Police and Chief Minister to take action against him and return back the award.

Harassment of Dalit Rape Victim of Raj Sunakhela of Nayagarh district, Odisha

Harassment of  Dalit Rape Victim of Raj Sunakhela of Nayagarh district, Odisha by Police  Administration

  This is a case presented in a Public Hearing  on “Status of Alleged Rape cases and Situation of Rape Victims in Odisha”  held at Lohia Bhawan, Bhubaneswar, on  29.12.17  by Mrs. Sharmila Nayak, President of  State Woman Unit of  Republic Party of India, on behalf of the victim.  

The victim, aged 20, belongs to   Scheduled Caste Community of Chhanapali Patna village of Surugabali Panchayat of Ranpur block under Nayagarh district.   When She had gone to latrine in night on 30.11.17,  Sushant Nayak  of that village took her inside a dilapidated house and raped her. After hearing from daughter, Pratima Nayak informed the villager leaders   about it and sought the support to resolve it.  Finding no justice from the villagers, he lodged FIR against  the accused sushant Nayak  and his father  Gadadhar Nayak and elder brother in Rajsunakhela Outpost  on 3.12.17.  But the Sub-Inspector refused to receive the FIR and misbehaved her.  However, on 4.12.17, the Sub-Inspector registered FIR (Case no. 303/2017) but did not   conduct any query.  On 5.12.17, Pratima along with her daughter met SP, Nayagarh  and  filed  complaint against the police inaction.  After intervention of SP, the police undertook medical examination of victim and started inquiry by visiting the place of incidence.  But the accused   Sushant Nayak  got absconding  from the village.  The police could not arrest anybody rather facilitated father and brother to get bail from High Court.  The victim is still fighting for justice.
