Bereaved family members of slain RTI activist Krupasindhu Sahu of Nachhigan village under the Niali police limits in Cuttack district have left the village fearing for their lives after getting threat call from the culprits involved in the crime. According to sources, Sahu’s widow laxmipriya along with her two sons, Bikash and Rakesh, have left the village expecting any attack from her husband’s murderers.
Police personnel have been deployed for security to Sahu’s mother who is now the lone member residing at their home, official sources said. Meanwhile, the Cuttack Sadar police have started a manhunt to nab the prime accused involved in the murder case. Notably, Sahu was murdered for seeking RTI information about details of fund spent for SRI cultivation under the BGREI and beneficiary list of block demonstration of HYV paddy in Krushnaprasad Gram Panhayat of Niali block.
Sahu’s widow alleged that some ruling party leaders and their supporters have been pressurising and trying to falsely implicate him in made up cases. It was supported by the Congress party and some other activists.
