With submission of charge sheets in some cases, trial of the mafia Dhalsamant brothers in those cases would begin soon. The SDJM Court here on Friday committed two cases of the brothers to the district sessions court and referred two other cases to a judicial magistrate (First Class) for trial.
The cases committed to the Session’s Court pertain to the charges made against Sushant Dhalsamant under the Arms Act. The city police had seized some arms and ammunitions from the house of his associates and Sushil was entangled in these cases.
Similarly the cases, pertaining to seizure of liquor and some fake documents from the house of the brothers and their office, have been referred to the JMFC Court for trial. Sources said once the case diaries in these cases are submitted, the trials would begin.
Both the brothers were produced in the SDJM Court here on the day and were provided with the relevant documents pertaining to the cases against them.
Meanwhile, hearing on the petition filed by Sushant that he was illegally confined in a solitary jail in Bhubaneswar was also taken up on the day and the same remained inconclusive.
The younger brother Sushil, who is now lodged in Baleswar district jail too filed yet another petition before the SDJM alleging that he is being tortured and threatened by the Balasore police.
“On the night of May 18-19, about hundred policemen of Baleswar district conducted a surprise raid in the district jail and a lady police inspector conducted physical search of me at midnight,” Sushil said in his petition alleging that he was heckled by the lady police officer and other when he objected to it.
