Even though three days have passed since a land grab complaint lodged, the Tarbha police is yet to take any action against accused Tapan Agrawal, a BJD youth leader, and two of his associates.
Giridhari lal Agrawal, a businessman of Tarbha in Sonepur district, had lodged the complaint alleging that Tapan Agrawala and his two aides, Harekurshna Pradhan and Istak Mohammad had cunningly gave him sleeping tablet in tea and, when he lost his sense, they took him in a car to the Room No 110 of the local Kasturi lodge. There, they forced him to drink alcohol and sign an agreement for sale of his 80 decimal of land, located at the AES College, to them.
As he didn’t agree, they took his signature in stamp papers forcefully and threatened to kill him if he divulged the matter. Thereafter, they left him in his sister’s house at Boudh.
While Tapan and Harekrushna each got 30 decimal of land recorded in their names, Istak recorded 20 decimal, according to his complaint.
The police have sit silent after a registering a case, alleged Giridhari.
Notably, Tapan Agrawala (30) is a known face for being a BJD youth leader. He is very close to local MlA and State Assembly speaker Niranjan Pujari and Zilla Parisad president Himanshu Shekhar Biswal.
