Forest officer attacked by mafia.
Digital Desk, New Delhi. In Shahdol district of eastern Madhya Pradesh, the coal mafia has once again shown who actually takes the decisions. This time, they not only smuggled illegal coal, they also allegedly stripped a forest ranger of his uniform, beat him up on the road, abused senior officials, and then disappeared into the night, leaving behind a tractor laden with black gold and a trail of humiliation.
Surprisingly, the ranger had informed the local police immediately after the attack on the evening of February 11, but the FIR against the three identified accused and their associates was registered at Sohagpur police station about 24 hours later.
The incident took place in Upper Tola of Khetawali village under Sohagpur police station. The villagers had allegedly stopped a tractor carrying illegally mined coal and informed both the police and the forest department. What happened next has raised serious questions about law enforcement in the area.
According to Divisional Forest Officer Shraddha Pandre, Ranger Ram Naresh Vishwakarma was immediately sent to the spot. Pandre herself was leaving after a meeting with Budhar. But before the police could arrive, armed men, allegedly linked to the coal mafia, stopped the ranger's vehicle, pulled him out, attacked him and tore his uniform. The attackers allegedly threatened him at gunpoint. The ranger somehow escaped and informed his seniors.
DFO Shraddha Pandre said, "The incident happened on February 11 at around 7 pm." "The accused surrounded the ranger's vehicle, pulled him out and beat him up. His uniform was torn. Even when I reached the spot, the three named accused Betan Singh, Chintu Singh and Raju Singh were misbehaving with our staff without any fear."
The villagers allege that the same mafia had earlier attacked the local people when they tried to stop illegal coal transport. The accused had allegedly emptied the tractor in the middle of the road before fleeing. When the police later reached the spot and found the coal, officials said that the fight had only occurred because the forest staff had honked the horn of his vehicle.
