Four arrested for Posco clash death

-The Times of India
 
Police have arrested four persons on Wednesday for their alleged involvement in the murder of Dyurdhan Swain, a construction company worker, during a clash at the proposedPosco project site near Dhinkia in Jagatsinghpur district last week, said OIC (Kujang police station) Gupteswar Bhoi.

The accused were identified as Lalita Bhujabala, Sanatan Mohanty, Loknath Swain and Chandrasekhar Patanaik of Paradip. They were reportedly aides of Bapi Sarkhel, the controversial trade union leader and contractor in Paradip. They were remanded in jail custody by judicial magistrate first class (JMFC) on Wednesday.

Earlier, police had filed several cases against Sarkhel, who has been absconding since the clash. Police had also arrested senior Congress leader Jayanta Biswal in Cuttack on Thursday on the charges of his involvement in the murder of Swain.

The brother of the deceased had filed an FIR against CPI leader and former MLA Narayan Reddy, Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti (PPSS) general secretary Sishir Mohapatra, Congress leader Jayant Biswal of Nuadi village, anti-Posco leader Manorama Khatua and others. "The other accused persons will be arrested soon," Bhoi added.

After the clash, several of the accused have taken shelter in Dhinkia village, the epicenter of the anti-Posco movement, sources said.

Police have not entered the villages in Dhinkia gram panchayat for the last five years after large number of villagers built wooden barriers to prevent the entry of police and officials. PPSS activists had also dug up roads in six or seven villages, which are their stronghold, to prevent police from entering villages.
