The CPI leader and former MLA Narayan Reddy was arrested in connection with the violence that claimed one life in the clash at proposed POSCO steel plant site. Mr. Narayan Reddy was caught near Japa Square in Erasama area of Jagatsinghpur district in the wee hours while he was trying to move out of the place. After being arrested, the anti-POSCO supporter was taken to Kujang police station amid tight security and then produced before a local court which remanded him to judicial custody for two weeks. Mr. Narayan Reddy, against whom two FIRs were filed in connection with the December 14 violence that left D Swain dead and injured 25 others, had been camping in the area after the arrest of POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samiti (PPSS) president, Abhay Sahu, about a month ago. Mr. Narayan Reddy has been framed in false case. With the arrest of the CPI leader Abhay Sahu, the number of people arrested in connection with the clash rose to seven. Meanwhile, key accused in the clash, Bapi Sharkhel of Paradip Paribahan Company, who had been arrested from Chhattisgarh, was produced before a magistrate at Kujanga and sent to jail for 14 days following rejection of his bail application. Sharkhel was brought from Chhattisgarh to Kujanga by a special police team of Odisha. Sharkel was one of the accused in the clash between the anti-POSCO brigade and the contractor group. An FIR had been filed at Kujang police station naming him as an accused in the 14 December clash between anti-Posco brigade and people engaged by a contractor for construction of a coastal road to link Paradip and the mega steel project site. Police had earlier raided the office of Sharkel on the basis of the FIR. Other cases were also pending against him in different police stations in Jagatsinghpur district. 11/06/2013: A Joint Allegation Letter covering abuses from the beginning of the protest movement is sent by the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights; the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context; the Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises; the Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order; the Special Rapporteur on the right to food; the Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association; the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders; and the Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation.
