At a time when opposition Congress leaders have upped their ante demanding to bring more and more BJD leaders under the purview of the police investigations for their alleged links with the mafia Dhalsamant brothers, the Commissionerate Police on Wednesday slapped yet another extortion case against the arrested brothers.
Basing on a written complaint of a works contractor, the Chauliaganj police registered a case against the D brothers and one of their associates, Bharat Bhusan Swain, said city DCP Sanjiv Arora. With this, the number of cases registered against the brothers Sushant and Sushil went up to 17 ever since their arrests on January 29.
Meanwhile, the Cuttack district administration is now in a tizzy as to how to serve a show-cause notice on Sushil Dhalsamant, president of the now-defunct Cuttack Nagar Yuvak Sangh, who is lodged in the Baleswar jail.
On the basis of an adverse police report that the members of the Sangh were involved in criminal activities and the organisation was functioning in violation of the purpose for which it was established, the Cuttack ADM in his capacity as Additional Registration Officer under the Societies Registration Act last month had issued a notice to Sushil to show cause by April 4 as to why the Sangh’s registration shall not be cancelled.
Since the Sangh has now ceased to function, the ADM’s notice was pasted on the door of its sealed office at CDA.
