Mania village is situated under Tangi PS in Cuttack district.   At the beginning of the village there is a big sahi habited by Gopal Caste (OBC) families; inside the village there is a small sahi where 12 SC (Pana) families live. The Gopal sahi is connected with the main road with a wide road while a narrow road connects the dalit sahi to the village main road. At the beginning of the dalit sahi road, a community centre for the Gopal caste has been constructed and by its side a boring point for water supply has been dug encroaching the dalit sahi road. Few days back, one person namely Gourang Das belonging to Gopal caste started construction of a wall obstructing the dalit sahi road. The Dalits lodged a complaint to the Revenue Inspector (R.I.) of the area; the R.I. visited the spot and cautioned Gourang Das not to construct the wall on the road. But the accused person did not stop construction. Then they lodged a police complaint but no steps were taken. The dalits requested for our intervention. Followed by the request, a Fact Finding was done and the matter was brought to the notice of the Suptd. of Police Cuttack (Rural). After that FIR was registered.

Sunil Sethi is professional driver. He hails from village Gada Rodanga under Brhmagiri PS. He had joined Gudu Travels, Puri for one and half months before the date of the incident. On 01.12.2019 he took one lawyer Mr. Manohar Khan, and his daughter from Puri to Srivihar, Patia under Chandrasekharpur Police Station, Bhubaneswar. It is said that the vehicle was parked outside Varsa Villa (the house where the lawyer got down) and Sunil was missing. Although Sunil’s father tried to contact him over phone, it was not responded. On the next morning the family members of Sunil were informed by Brahmagiri police about death of Sunil. Babaji Sethi some other villagers and relatives proceeded to Bhubaneswar. They visited the spot where the body was located. It was a plot adjacent to the house of the lawyer at Srivihar. The said plot was having a compound wall surrounding it and had two gates. The big gate was locked while a small gate was open; some laterite stone pieces were stacked inside the boundary where the dead body of Sunil was lying. The scientific team conducted spot investigation; the DCP also visited the spot. The family members strongly suspected that the lawyer and his son murdered Sunil and his father filed a complaint with Chandrasekharpur Police; the same was registered as FIR no 481 under Section 302, 120B and 34 IPC.

Other side of the story is said to be at Srivihar, the lawyer and his daughter got down and asked him to wait for some time as he was to go to cuttack. After some time the lawyer came out and did not find Sunil although the vehicle was parked outside his rented house near Varsa villa. When for a long time Sunil was not traceable, he contacted another vehicle and went to Cuttack. Even after he came back the vehicle was found to be parked there. So he contacted the travel agent who sent another driver and took back the vehicle. It is said that the keys were found in the ignition switch. On the next day morning the dead body was first seen by wife of the lawyer on the side plot and police was informed. Soon police reached the spot and it was found that there were injury marks on his head, nose and hand.

Berhampu villagae is situated in Chilka lake under Krushnaprasad Block. The village is also a Gram Panchayat. The people in the village are mostly educated with a literacy rate of 93% (as per Census-2011) much above the State literacy rate of 72%. Prime livelihood means of the people here is fishing in Chilka. Almost all families are cofortable from economic standard. Most of its inhabitants (nearly 81%) are Scheduled Castes. Caste wise segregation shows majority families of total 400 families belong to Khatia Sub Caste; other families consist of 5 Brahmin HH, 10 Mali HH, 8 Rajaka (Dhoba) HH and 48 Bhoi (Bauri) HH.The Khatia community are the power centre of the village, other castes do not have any influence in the decision making.

The Bhois are forced to perform the customary service of carrying the palamquin of the bride and bride groom during marriages; the Rajakas are to carry the torch (Dihudi) in the front. By the year 2000, six Rajaka families left the village to other places leaving behind their property, in order to escape providing the customary service. Remaining two Rajaka families are continuing to serve the Khatias. By 2013, the Bhois declared not to continue the customary service and stopped carrying the palanquin. They gave a written letter to Sri Damodar Jena, the then village president. Other members of Berhampur village committe at that time were Lingaraj Jena, Secretary, Biranchi Narayan Jena, Member, Nari Jana, Clerk. There was social boycott on the Bhois by the Khatias after 2013 decision.; the Bhois were not given any labour work, they were barred to catch fish in Chilka, the ghat was also banned for them. The strategy adopted by the Bhois to counter the pressure was to employment outside the village. Nearly 70 youths including 20-30 women/ young girls could get engaged in different citie like Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Kolkata and in the States of Kerala and Maharastra while the social boycott continued till 2017. After 2017 the situation got slightly better and the Bhois were given work by other villagers.

On 17.1.2021 some youths from the Bhoisahi were catching fish with Bansi string. They were abused, assaulted and their fishing rods were taken by the Khatias. In the evening there was a village meeting and the Bhois were informed about the four restictions as under:

• They were banned to use the village road to Berhampur


• Any sort of procession / marriage procession by the Bhois were forbidden


• They were denied taking water from the well near the temple; if flouted, a fine of Rs.5000/- was to be paid by them


• They cannot catch fish or crabs in Chilka

Despite such humiliating terms, the Bhois stayed on in the village. On 13.2.2021 in the evening, there was an incident of hited exchanges between one Akash Pahan and Pallab Jena over purcahse of Bombay Sweets sold by a vendor. Akash was assaulted. Later his father Bhramar Pahan and brothers whn asked Rabi Jena why did they assaulted Akash, there was mass attack on them; they were assaulted and got injured. During the clash between the groups stones were thown and Basudev Bhagabat ghar of the Bhois was destroyed. Allegedly therewas some damges of the properties of the Khatias.

By 9 Pm of 13.2.2021 the Khatias held village committee meeting and strict economic boycott was imposed on the Bhois; even the ghat was banned restricting their movement to and out of the village. On 14.2.2021, the Bhois begged apology falling at their feet. After much request the Khatias said that the issue shall be settled within 3 days. The Bhois went to Krushnaprasad PS on 17.2.2021 as the boycott continued. They gave written complaint. The IIC disuaded registration of FIR as the Khatias are majority community and assured amicably settling the issue. The Bhois met the Superintendent of Police, Puri and submitted a petition on 2.3.2021 as ther was no headway for settlement.

On 3.3.2021, the Tahasildar, Krushnaprasad and the IIC, Krushnaprasad visited Berhampur. They had preliminary discussion with the Khatias and them called the Bhois. Four representatives namely, Sangram Pahan, Abhimanyu Pahan, Bulu Pahan and Niranjan Pahan went to the meeting. They were abused by the Khatias in presence of the officers. After little discussion the Khatias were asked by the officers to withdraw the boycott and bring back normalcy. They said that they can say anything after discussing the matter in full village meeting which they would do within 7 days. The Bhois asked the police for a solution; there was none.

Complete economic boycott was imposed on the Bhois after 13.2.2021; to tighten the boycott, they were denied pursuing fishing and boating activities. The Bhois submitted petitions before the district administration at differenet times; but the matter was not resolved. The condition of Bhois detoriorated with time. Hence, they decided to desert the island village and shift to mainland so that there will option of resorting to alternative livelihood means. On 24.4.2021, in desperation the Bhois took the altimate decision and left the village with all their movable belongings and from child to aged (215 members) and camped temporarily at Nathpur village under Brahmagiri PS. The issue was highlighted in the media.

On 8.5. 2021, the Bhois learnt that some of their houses at Berhampur are on fire. They managed to go to see their burnt houses. A written complaint was filed by Basanti Bhoi basing on which Krushnaprasad PS Case no 51 was registered on 11.5.2021 under Sections 153A, 436, 34 IPC.
