“Apart from this, there are allegations that the gang members used to tjreaten and collect extortion money from the private bus ownres plying on Cuttack-Paradip and Cuttack-Jagatsinghpur routes,” Baral added.

He said the police in this connection have arrested eight associates of Tito and filed chargesheets against them.

Stating that the cases against Tito are currently in the Kendrapara SDJM court, he said the process of producing him the Cuttack SDJM court in the aforesaid cases would be taken up very soon.

“The Cuttack SDJM court has applied to its Kendrapara counterpart to spare the gangster for some days and allow the police to produce him before its court in connection with the case registered by the Chauliaganj police,” he pointed out.
