NayagarhOct 23: : In connection to a case of humiliation of a teacher at a kangaroo court on October 16, the Itamati police arrested two persons on Saturday named Sanjay and Mayadhara Pradhan from Balarampur and forwarded them to the court.
As per the information, to catch the other accused in the case, a manhunt has been set in motion by the police.
As per reports, the teacher Sreedhara Naik had a minor altercation with Mayadhara. Following which he had gone to solve the dispute between Balarampur and Bijipur village as the conflicts between the two villages became difficult for working of the local government school teachers.
As per the complaint filed by Naik, he was asked to beg for apology from the villagers present at the kangaroo court. After the apology, in the form of punishment in connection to the altercation, the kangaroo court forced him to pass through the legs of the Balarampur village president Mayadhara Pradhan. Out of fear he obeyed the order as the villagers had weapons with them and would not have allowed him to go safely from the court otherwise. While he was being publically humiliated, Pradhan’s son recorded a video and later uploaded it on WhatsApp.
After Naik came to know about the video circulation, he tried to commit suicide but was fortunately saved by his family members who filed a complaint with the local police following which the two were arrested.
