Earlier, Sarangi had alleged that the Crime Branch officials subjected him to inhuman treatment during detention for several hours after they picked him up in the wee hours. The alleged ill-treatment of Sarangi had drawn sharp criticisms and condemnation from several quarters.
Political leaders, cutting across party lines, had termed the incident as unfortunate, violation of Human and Constitutional rights and vindictive action at the behest of the Odisha government.
Significantly, a Tehsil-appointed government ‘amin’ had given a clean chit in this regard and confirmed that there was no encroachment of land at Sarua.
