Visually impaired youth under the scanner
Staff Reporter
BERHAMPUR: A visually impaired youth was found to be the mastermind behind a
gang of young dacoits operating in the city.
This youth along with two of his associates was arrested by police in relation
to the murder of a retired executive engineer Bipra Charan Padhi during a
dacoity attempt in the Gandhi Nagar area of the city on October 16. The
visually impaired gang leader was Jagannath Nahak. The other two arrested along
with him were Narayan Mohanty and Suraj Kumar Pradhan alias Suresh. Another
accused in this case of murder and dacoity, Sitaram Das is still absconding.
All of them are in their 20s.
Speaking to newsmen here on Monday, Berhampur Superintendent of Police (SP)
Shefeen Ahmed K. said this case was tough to crack as evidences left by the
culprits was too less. Added to it the persons involved in the crime except the
mastermind Jagannath had no past criminal record. A special squad had been
formed under the SP to investigate the case.
The SP said this case again revealed the dangers of allowing persons of dubious
background to guard houses during absence of owners. Accepting tenants without
checking their identity allows shrewd criminals like Jagannath to operate their
crime syndicate from posh areas like Gajapati Nagar in Berhampur. Sitaram and
Narayan had been allowed by the deceased Mr. Padhi to guard his house while he
was out in America along with his wife. Narayan was son of his acquaintance.
But he did not know that he was also part of the dacoit gang run by Jagannath.
On October 16, these criminals had tried to commit a dacoity at Mr. Padhi's
house. It is suspected that he could identify the miscreants, who preferred to
kill him to avoid identification. Police have also seized the mobile phone and
watch that had been taken away from the house of the victim.
Greatest revelation was Jagannath himself. He was a student of Khallikote
Autonomous College who had stepped into world of crime few years back.
He has several cases pending against him in Polasara and Kavisuryanagar police
stations. Two years back a bomb used by him blasted in his own hand. His eyes
were damaged making him visually impaired.
With thanks and regards

About the world's despair;
But to make bad matters worse
