Despite order of Governor, Odisha, no police enquiry conducted against Achyut Samant, founder of KIIT

Order of Governor,
Odisha to enquire into illegal Activities of Achyut Samant, founder of KIIT and forcibly acquiring private
land is simply ignored, bypassed and put in dustbin   by Commissioner ate of Police, Bhubaneswar,
exposed through RTI.

On 7.8.15, a group of 
senior  Citizens i.e,  retired Engineers, professors, retired OAS
officers  had  submitted a petition  to Hon’ble Governor, Odisha  seeking 
an enquiry  and action
against  goondasim  of  Dr.
Achyut Samant, founder, KIIT who has forcibly 
encroached  their land    in Pathargadia since 10 years  and 
developed  KISS Adivasi  Residential Vidyalaya.  The content of the petition signed by them is
as follows.

A.They had purchased around 10 to 12 acres of
land in Mouza Pathargadia since 1983 and taken possession of their respective
plots constructing boundary wall. But Sri Achyut  Samant and Pramod Sahu, so-called  land acquisition officer of KIIT with the
help of  some local  and hired 
Goondas  prevented  and attacked us, when  they attempted to enter into their respective
plots. Every time, whenever they tried to enter their land, the hired muscleman
of Achyut Samant obstructed them from entering into their field. Sri Achyut
Samant has also threatened them dire consequence, if they try to enter into the
premises of their land.

B.By forcibly acquiring their 12 acres of
precious homestead land ( DSR value of this  land is 9 crores per Acre) , Sri
Achyut Samant has developed KIIT Tribal School which he claims  model tribal 
school in Odisha  and marketed
it  as part of his so-called image
building  exercise.

C. It 
has also been mentioned  that   on 24.8.14
some of the Press Reporters  of
print  and electronic media   had 
accompanied   them to Pathargadia
area   for  physical verification  about 
unlawful  encroachment  of land 
by Sri Achyut Samant.  The  hired goons 
of  Achyut Samant  attacked 
the press  reporters  in front 
of gate of  KISS Adivasi
Residential  school, dragged  them 
on the road , torn their  documents
, broke  the vehicles of the Reporters
and  confined one of the claimants  for 
about 3 hours  inside the school
campus.  Immediately FIR was lodged
against Achyut Samant and his goons but no action taken by police till yet. The then Police
Commissioner, Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Police Commissionerate had assured them for
detail enquiry and give them justice. But alas, nothing happened.

D. In their pursuit to get justice, they have run from
pillar to post approaching   Police
Commissioner, Secretary, Home, Chief Minister, Odisha, Minister for Revenue and
Disaster Management several times, but in vain.

E.Having
failed  to recover the land  from 
Achyut Samant after  hard
persuasion  at different level, one of
the owners i.e, a senior  Citizen  got  terribly  shocked 
and expired  due to heart  attack.

F. At last, they 
approached  Hon’ble Governor,
Odisha  and  submitted petition  on 7.8.2015  seeking 
justice  and  get their land returned  illegally 
occupied  by Achyut Samant.

G.  On 9.9.2015,    the 
Governor sent  the petition  to 
Secretary, Revenue and Disaster 
Management, Govt. of Odisha, Collector, Khurda for  enquiry 
into the allegation  and submit the
report.

H.  On 21.11.15,
the Collector, Khurda sent this petition to the Commissioner of Police,
Bhubaneswar to enquire into the matter and take appropriate action at your end.

On 9.6.16, RTI Application was filed to the
PIO, office of  Police Commissioner,
Bhubaneswar  seeking  details of 
Action Taken on the petition referred by Governor, Odisha. The PIO  has 
supplied the following information on dated 29.6.16.

A.On 8.12.15, the Deputy Commissioner of Police sent
the petition to the IIC/Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Infocity police
station to enquire into the matter. But the ACP did not conduct any enquiry
into it.

B. On 21.6.16, 
a reminder letter has also been sent from office  of Deputy Commissioner  of Police, Bhubaneswar vide letter No. 5247/DHRPC dt.
21.6.16
   to the IIC,
Infocity  police station for enquiry
report.  

Though  one
year  has 
passed,  the Commissionerate
police  has failed  to 
enquire  into the  allegation 
against  Sri Achyut Samant despite
order  being  issued 
by  Governor, Odisha. The unholy   criminal nexus of Sri Achyut Samant and
Police Commissioner  is quite  visible 
in the state.  The concerned,
senior  citizen  are 
being tortured, humiliated and harassed 
by both police and Achyut Samant. Forget the fate of the Common people.
