The Congress on Thursday moved the Odisha Human Rights Commission (OHRC) seeking action against the local police for their callousness in connection with the recent attack on OPCC president Niranjan Patnaik’s vehicle and his PSO Rakesh Singh in Keonjhar.
A party delegation led by State spokesperson Nishikant Mishra met the OHRC head and filed a petition in this regard.The party alleged that the callous attitude of local police led to such incident.
It demanded action against the police and also requested the Government to facilitate adequate security to the PCC president during his visit anywhere.
So far, police have arrested four persons, including the prime accused BJP youth leader Sanjay Mohanty, in connection with the case. A SUV allegedly used in the crime has also been seized.
