Shame... Two Social Workers Fall Victim to Mob Violence Again in Rayagada
Hair Pulled, Clothes Torn: Victim Narrates Harrowing Ordeal
16 Arrested for Brutal Assault on Two Persons Suspected of Child-Lifting
Police have intensified action in connection with the brutal mob attack on two social development workers and the public humiliation of a woman in Kalyansinghpur area of Odisha's Rayagada district, where they were suspected of being child-lifters. So far, police have arrested 16 persons allegedly involved in the incident and produced them before a court on Thursday. More arrests are likely as the investigation progresses.
Lost Their Way While Returning from a Field Visit
One of the victims, Suman Jha, a resident of Azadpur in Delhi, is working in Odisha under the SBI Fellowship programme with a social organization called Gram Vikas. Along with her colleague Arpit Sutaria from Surat, Gujarat, she had travelled from Daringbadi in Kandhamal district to Thuamul Rampur in Kalahandi district for an exposure visit.
While returning, they were using Google Maps to navigate when their scooter overturned near a pond close to Kandulguda village under Dhamunipanga Panchayat in Kalyansinghpur police station limits due to poor road conditions. Earlier, they had asked villagers for directions and distributed biscuits among children celebrating the Raja festival, which reportedly triggered suspicion among some locals.
Hair Pulled, Clothes Torn: Victim's Emotional Account
Villagers allegedly began shouting that the pair were child-lifters and surrounded them. Frightened, they attempted to flee on their scooter but met with an accident. An enraged crowd then chased and assaulted them.
According to the woman victim, they were severely beaten, her hair was pulled, and her clothes were torn. Despite repeatedly crying, showing her identity card, and explaining that they were not involved in child abduction, nobody listened. There are also allegations that she was stripped and publicly humiliated.
After receiving information about the incident, Kalyansinghpur police, with the assistance of local resident Balaram Bag, rescued the victims and initially took them to the Community Health Centre. However, tensions reportedly continued at the hospital, prompting Rayagada SP Raj Prasad and SDPO Gaurahari Sahu to reach the spot, disperse the crowd, and shift the injured victims to the District Headquarters Hospital.
Police have registered four separate cases in connection with the incident. Preliminary investigations indicate that around 40 to 50 people were involved in the attack. The SP stated that individuals who created disturbances at the hospital and those who took the law into their own hands are being identified through CCTV footage and will face strict legal action.
Family members of the victims have since arrived in Rayagada.

पता है, भारत की सिर्फ़ 5 परीक्षाओं - NEET, JEE, SSC, UPSC और RRB की तैयारी पर छात्र और उनके परिवार हर साल कितना ख़र्च करते हैं?
₹3.5 लाख करोड़।
यानी भारत सरकार के पूरे शिक्षा बजट का लगभग तीन गुना। शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, श्रम, विज्ञान और महिला-बाल विकास - इन पाँच मंत्रालयों के कुल बजट के बराबर।
और बदले में करोड़ों युवाओं को क्या मिलता है? तनाव, अनिश्चितता, बेरोज़गारी, और टूटते सपने।
जो ख़र्च सरकार की ज़िम्मेदारी है, उसका बोझ आज परिवार उठा रहे हैं।

This is the first time I’ve seen a politician speak in detail about the education system, acknowledge its shortcomings, and discuss the need for improvement.
Rahul Gandhi should have been the Prime Minister, but unfortunately a large section of the population seems more interested in targeting and harassing Muslims than in discussing issues like education, jobs, and governance.
This is such a pathetic decision by DM.I would say proper carelessness.The administration should have informed & circulated this letter in office hour of yesterday.୫୦୦ କିମି ଦୂରରୁ ଆସି ପହଁଚିଲା ପରେ ଆପଣ ଛୁଟି ଘୋଷଣା କରୁଛନ୍ତି. @Deogarhdistadmn@SMEOdisha@NityanandaBJP@ThirumalaNaik4
उड़ीसा में 2029 में कांग्रेस 30 सीटों के पास 1200 से 800 वोटो से हारी – सोफिया फ़िरदोष
मुझे उड़ीसा कांग्रेस इंचार्ज अजय कुमार का बहुत सपोर्ट मिला है, पवन खेड़ा जी का सपोर्ट मिला है..!
हमको अच्छा काम करना है जिससे हम 2029 में सरकार बना सके, अभी 9 से 14 सीटों पर जीते है...!
जनता मुझे 2029 के लिए कहेगी तो आगे जाऊंगी नहीं तो जनता के साथ बाराबती ही रहूंगी...!
नोट – ये 2024 में उड़ीसा कटक बाराबती विधानसभा सीट कांग्रेस के टिकट पर विधानसभा चुनाव जीतने वाली सोफिया फ़िरदोष है...!
उसके बाद मार्च में कांग्रेस बीजेडी के राज्यसभा उम्मीदवार के खिलाफ क्रॉस वोटिंग आरोप में पार्टी से निष्कासित कर दिया था...!
Had Mamata Banerjee not killed Congress and CPIM by force and violence, WB would have been like Telangana, Kerala, TN.
Now she handed over the state to BJP. Regional parties are so fucking narrow minded, they're okay to lose to BJP than let a dignified Congress get strengthened.
How can you expect a mass public gathering when Congress is completely irrelevant in that specific district?? Apart 30-35 assembly seats, Congress presence is negligible in all part of the state..
ओडिशा के संबलपुर में नीट पेपर लीक को लेकर ओडिशा कांग्रेस ने कार्यक्रम रखा था।
ओडिशा कांग्रेस जनसभा में आधी सीटों को भी नहीं भर पाया।
ओडिशा में कांग्रेस के लिए पाने को सबकुछ है पर गुटबाजी पार्टी को लगातार गर्त में डाल रखा है।
@DayTripper60s It's a difficult time for bjd to survive in coastal Odisha unless they do alliance with Congress.. Both Congress and bjp are eating their core votes..

PM .@narendramodi Ji doesn't know Odia.
Even if you try to damage control, the people of Karnataka have already understood what you truly are.
The mask is off. The narrative is clear. And the people see through it now.

Uncle ji, @RahulGandhi ji is not in your cabinet as Education Minister. He is the Leader of Opposition and the voice of voiceless students and youth across the country. Raising issues like NEET scams, unemployment, and students’ struggles is his responsibility and he is doing that strongly.
