A family not being able to get justice from the local police station pertaining to torture by a villager finally held hunger strike in front of the office of the Collector of Sambalpur.
Even her school going children sat with her in the fast-unto- death.
But at the request of the local police, these small children left the place.
As per information, Kalpana Meher of Bhuliadihi village under Rengali tehsil alleges that one of her villagers forcefully was constructing house in her own land. She also lodged complaint in the Thelkuli police station but in vain. “Instead of getting any protection from the police, I was rather misbehaved by the IIC of the concerned police station,” Meher told. However, after getting allegation from the Meher family, the Collector here sought a detail and immediate report from the Tehsildar of Rengali.
The lady demanded that she gets back her land and action against the IIC of Thelkuli police station who misbehaved her instead of giving her justice.
Meanwhile, the district administration swung into action.
All the senior officials of the administration, including the ADM, the Sub Collector and the SDPO assured her to look into the case. They woman withdrew here strike after getting the assurance.
