Bhubaneswar, 2.9.09:
A.K.Upadhyay, a senior IPS officer has held
13 IPS officers, including the former Director General of Police, Sri
Gopal Nanda responsible for the Kandhamal violence. The situation got
deteriorated due to their utter negligence in taking appropriate steps
within the timeframe. Hence, Sri Upadhayay has written a letter to the
present DGP,Sri Manamohan Praharaj to withdraw the police medals
awarded to those IPS officers. The letter of Sri Upadhyay has now been
a point of discussion within the IPS circle. Mr.Upadhyaya, a 1976
Cadre IPS officer is now functioning as DIG (Trainer) in the Biju
Patnaik state Police Academy.
On last 31st August 2009, Sri Upadhyay has written a letter to the
DGP, Orissa that the 13 IPS officers holding responsibilities in
different times should submit affidavits before the Judicial
Commission constituted under the chairmanship of Sri. Sarat Chandra
Mohapatra to enquire the Kandhamal violence. It is not appropriate for
those IPS officers to escape from their responsibilities by shifting
the same on the local police personnel and officers. He said that the
additional DG Sri Deshraj Meena had gone to Kandhamal on 25th December
2007 aftermath violence in Kandhamal. Sri Meena had also gone to
Kandhmal after Janmastami violence occurred on 24.8.2008. Hence, he
should submit affidavit before the commission.
Sri Bidhu Bhusan Mishra IG was in-charge of law and order situation in
December, 2007. But he did not go there when the incident occurred.
During December 2007 Sri Pradeep Kapoor was supervising the law and
order situation, and later he was in charge of law and order; but at
the relevant time, DGP Sri Gopal Nanda did not send him. In fact, he
went to the spot only after 10 days of the incident.
The crime branch had sent IG Mr. Bijay Kumar Sharma to assess the
violence occurred during Christmas day on 25th December 2007. Special
branch IG Mr. R.P.Singh was sent to the spot immediately.
During the gangrape of nun at K.Nuagoan on 25th August, 2008, IG Mr.
Shayam Sundar Hansda was in-charge of Balliguda range. But he did not
permit lath charge to stop the “nun” rape incident rather than victim
of gang rape and Father Challan were brought to Balliguda and were
persuaded to give opinions against incidence of rape while lodging
FIR. DIG, Mr. Mahendra Pratap was kept in-charge of G.Udayagiri. The
state government entrusted to crime branch IG Mr. S.Panwar to enquire
the murder case of Swami Laxmannanda. But instead of going
immediately, he had actually gone there after 7 (seven) days. On the
pretext of health check up, he flew to Delhi. However, government is
not able to give any information regarding his treatment. Awardee Mr.
Gopabandhu Mallick was sent to Phulbani from Ist September 2008 to
15th September, 2008, but he did not permit to take actions against
the persons involved in the violence. Even he did not take any action
against the police/constables deployed in the district HQs who were
involved in firing left and right. From 1.9.2008 to 12.9.2008 Mr. A.K.
Roy was appointed in Balliguda and he had nor taken the
responsibilities. When appointed as as a crime branch IG, he created
eight stories on the assassination of Swamiji dated on 17.9.2008.
Afterwards, 18 persons were arrested on 15.12.2008. Mr. Prakash Mishra
remained as Chairman of Orissa Police Housing Corporation including
additional D.G in Sadar HQs. But he neglected his duties. DGP Mr.
Gopal Nanda did not send the police IG in-charge of law and order
situation of Kandhamal to monitor the incidents occurred during the
period from December 2007 to August 2008. Rather through them, he
forged the records. During the period from 13.9.2008 to 19.9.2008 Mr.
Satyajit Mohanty was in-charge of Balliguda. Therefore, those IPS
officers should submit their affidavits before the commission. Mr.
Upadhyay in his letter has mentioned that the medals from Mr.
R.P.Koche, R.P.Singh, Gopabandhu Mallick and Mr. Deshraj Meena should
be withdrawn from them likewise as done in the case of Mr. Binayatosha
Mishra. The copy of the letter addressed to the DG also has been sent
to the member of RDC (ND) Mr. Santosh Kumar, IAS. In this letter he
has requested the persons in the helms of affairs to withdraw the
medals on account of their inaction during the Kandhamal violence.
Along with this he also demands that the appointment given to Mr.
Gopal Nanda after his retirement must be cancelled. Even he has
written by appraising the matter to the chief Secretary Mr. Tarun
Kanti Mishra, Home secretary, Mr. Aditya Prasad Padhi, Principal
secretary to CM, Mr. Bijay Kumar Patnaik and Union Home Secretary.
