Malkangiri (Orissa): A Malkangiri court
on Thursday ordered the release of five
persons, including two women, who were
arrested by the local police as `naxalites'
in September 2004.
Additional District and Sessions Judge
of Malkangiri Sib Kumar Sahu discharged
the five and ordered their release from |
judicial custody due
to lack of evidence against them.
Balram Majhi, Adu Malik and Madhi
Rama were arrested along with the
two women Debe Madkami and Debe Kabasi
from the Malkangiri bus stand when
they reached there after attending
a rally in Bhubaneswar, the Capital
city of Orissa.
The`Jana Garjan Samabesh' was organised
by Daman Pratirodh Manch, a pro-naxal
outfit.
Hundreds of tribals and people belonging
to other backward communities had
attended the rally.
The five had been lodged in the Malkangiri
jail since their arrest on September
19, 2004.
They were released hours after the
court passed the orders in their favour.
They returned to their homes in Motu
and Kalimela areas of the district
soon after they were released from
the jail.
Advocate Rabi Narayan Patro represented
the five persons in the court. |
