Odishabarta
Berhampur:On 21.08.2023 some persons namely Santoshi Das, Ronali Panigrahi and four others detained two Bolero Pick-up vehicles near Haladiapadar overbridge on the allegation of illegal cattle smuggling.
They detained the two pick-ups, assaulted the drivers and demanded Rs. 50,000/- from the drivers of those Bolero Pick-up to let them free .
They threatened them that if they do not pay the money they will get them arrested by the police for smuggling cattle.
At that time out of fear, the driver of the Bolero P. Nagbhusana arranged Rs 30,000/- immediately and paid to one Santoshi Das, close friend of Ronali Panigrahy through Phone pe to her Phone pe No-8926294995. Later during investigation it was found that Santoshi Das withdrew Rs.30,000 cash from her account and paid it to Ronali Panigrahi.
She complied with instructions of Ronali Panigrahi and as per her plan withdrew the cash from an ATM and handed over the same money (Rs 30,000) to Ronali Panigrahi. As the demanded money of ₹ 50,000/- was not paid to them they took the two Bolero Pick-ups to Golanthara PS and gave a report about cattle smuggling. On that report Golanthara PS case no-411 dt. 21.08.2023 U/s- 07 of Orissa Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act and Section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act was registered and investigated into.
In this case two Bolero Pick-Ups were seized and kept in the PS. In the meantime Santoshi Das and Ronali Panigrahi put pressure on P. Nagbhusan (one of the drivers) and the owner of the cattle to pay another Rs.20,000/- to them, then only they will assist them to release the pick-ups from the Police. Out of fear of previous assault and fear of non-release of the vehicles, the driver of the pick-up vehicle paid another Rs.10,000/- to one person known to Santoshi Das.
Out of the fear the driver of the pick-up and the cattle owner could not dare to report it to the Police. When the owner of the vehicle came to know of this, he directed the driver to lodge a complaint at police station and on the report of the driver P. Nagbhusan the above noted case was registered.
