Journalist assault: District OUJ body submitted memorandum to DIG.



Nabarangpur:
A local scribe was ill-treated by the  BSF personals in between Ralegada-Sunki, on Friday. Condemning the inhuman attitude of the BSF personals the district Odish Unions of Journalists (OUJ) body submitted memorandum to the DIG of police SW, and IG BSF,  Koraput through the superintendent of police Sudhansu Sekhar Mishra, here on Monday. 


In the memorandum the body demanded proper investigation into the matter and take stringent action against the BSF personals involved in the incident. They further demanded to tender an unconditional apology for their misbehaviour. 

While scribe was returning from Vishakapatnam the BSF persons detained the vehicle and asked the documents. When they queried  identity the scribe show the Reporter card. Instantaneously one of the BSF official underrated by slapping scolding down said what you are doing for the nation? Even though the scribe repeatedly requested them to leave but surprisingly the BSF official started shooting video in his mobile threatened to encounter and also endangered to lodge a false case of NDPS by keeping Ganja in the vehicle.

By tendering apology our media friend came from the clutch of errant BSP personals and the matter reported before Superintendent of Police Koraput, on the same day.
It is not a single case of the BSF personals in the name of checking routinely harassing the common citizens, including patients those who are travelling to Vizag, alleged President Susant Behera.

Among others Scribes Laxmikanta Panda, Basant Rath, Siba Sankar Padhy, Gopal Nayak, Kabiraj Bissoiy, Saroj Patnaik, were present.
