[Watch] Slap Section 307 For Police Excesses During Congress Protest In Bhubaneswar: Narasingha Mishra

Bhubaneswar: A day after ten NSUI activists were allegedly injured in a scuffle with police during a protest over Mamita Meher murder case, senior Congress MLA Narasingha Mishra on Saturday termed the lathi-charge on party workers as atrocious torture.

“Law allows for use of minimum force on the unruly crowd. But police barged into our party office and brutally assaulted the workers. In a democratic setup, police have no right to enter into the office of a recognised political party unless deadly criminals have taken shelter there. Here too they have to take permission from the party office,” he said.

The Congress leader said that either the police don’t know the law or are engaging in illegal activities under pressure from the government.

“Attempts were made to break the doors at the Congress Bhawan where workers had taken shelter to escape the excesses. Therefore, police are liable to punishment under Section 307 of IPC, attempt to commit murder, and a case should be registered for house trespassing. The controlling officer should also be suspended,” he added.

One of the workers had sustained head injuries in the lathi charge.

Mishra said that Congress would also move the Human Rights Commission, seeking action against the erring cops and compensation for the injured workers

The party will intensify the agitation in the coming days, he added.
