Bhubaneswar: Congress MLA in Odisha Sagar Charan Das alleged that some unidentified persons have issued threat to his life after assaulting one of his aides.
The legislator, who is the son of Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) president Bhakta Charan Das, claimed that around 4-5 unknown people sought to know about his whereabouts after approaching one of his acquaintances on Thursday evening,
Das, who represents Bhawanipatna in the Assembly, lodged a complaint before Director General of Police (DGP) Y B Khurania, seeking action against the miscreants.
“It is unfortunate that one of my known people and zone head in Kalahandi district was assaulted & threatened by unknown miscreants with dire consequences to reveal my whereabouts & issued a threat to my life as well,” Das wrote on X.
In his police complaint, the MLA said the miscreants were carrying guns and weapons with them and forcefully tried to extract information about him from his close aide.
“Being a public representative, this is a serious concern to look at where my own safety and right to life and freedom are being challenged by illegal entities for reasons that are best known to them,” he said.
The Congress leader urged the DGP to register an FIR and initiate actions to bring such people to justice and assured full cooperation in the police investigation.
The MLA said he has informed the matter to DIG (northwestern range) and Kalahandi SP, as well, urging that the accused don’t go scot-free.
