Why was an IAS officer so concerned about an album actress?

First of all, the kind I could understand the kind of punishment given to Shri Patnaik. There can be two options:
Guilty & not-Guilty
If he is in doubt case & told the truth to police that he met RAJA Acharya once in judo club - what is wrong in this ?
The media / CM's decision all are presenting news as if Mr. Patnaik has done a heinous crime. Either something is not disclosed to media or it is a humiliation for Shri Patnaik.
In my opinion, if the matter is only what Shri Patnaik reported to police and is true - they can run a lie detector test and find out and he should have been allowed to continue in his post till investigation is over. Anyway he is not from home department and highly unlikely to influence police.
Had he influence over police, then he would probably asked the sleeping police DCP/CP , (who let off RAJA in bail because RAJA was their friend) to act & take the law to course.
Unfortunately Indian law is like a Bus, which is driven by CM/Ministers and corrupt/inefficient Police. Leislie's father might have requested Shri Priyabrata Pattanaik to try his diplomatic influence because the police is not doing any thing - he acted.
Crime Master RAJA has been active & police was sleeping all along. The Sudden demise of Biranchi , which the Commissioner has rightly and honestly confessed was an avoidable event if he had right set of non-ugly inspectors.
If the same question would have been asked to me by COP/DCP.
Why was an IAS officer so concerned about an album actress?
My answer would be :
Go to Hell Mr. DCP. Use your common sense. Show me what you or your officers did to contain RAJA for last 10 years. If you still don't get the answer, quit your job. You don't deserve to be a police officer because you don't have a human heart.
Also watch some Bollywood movie. When POLICE FAIL (let loose a criminal in bail ), people look for compromises with criminal.
However, this analysis is based on the facts available in media. I had to write this because I read all the news portal - where all of them are portraying Shri Patnayak as a criminal with the available information.
I tried to provide a common citizens perspective, where it is not uncommon to seek assistance from a person in power when police fails to act on time.
Also Ms. Leisle Tripathy is an glamorous album actress & deserve her own private life in a democracy. She should have been given 24 hour police protection when RAJA ACHARYA was released on bail.
Comments welcome.

Former cop seeks CBI probe |
| OUR CORRESPONDENT |

Cuttack, April 29: Former inspector-general of police (IG) Anadi Sahu today demanded a CBI probe into the Biranchi Das murder alleging that the Orissa police were "delaying" action and were being "shackled" by the presence of top bureaucrats in the case. "The manner in which IAS officer Priyabrata Patnaik was let off by the police commissionerate points an accusing finger at the agency," said Sahu, a former Lok Sabha MP from Cuttack and an NCP leader. In his media statement today, the former IG also demanded that the workings of the Buddhia Singh Trust and Bhubaneswar Club be brought under the CBI probe purview. For now, an investigating team of Orissa police, headed by additional-commissioner of police Y.B. Khurania, is probing into the murder. Yesterday, senior IAS officer Priyabrata Patnaik was interrogated for two hours at the police commissionerate. "Previously, he (Priyabrata Patnaik) had denied meeting Raja Acharya. But, in his police statements yesterday, as indicated in the media, he has conceded that he had met Raja through Biranchi for the Leslie Tripathy affair," said the former IG. The government today divested the official responsibilities of Patnaik in the wake of allegations that he was involved in the Biranchi murder. The officer had conceded that he met the gangster "on one or two occasions" at Bhubaneswar Club and admitted that he had "intervened" in the Leslie Tripathy affair. "Why was an IAS officer so concerned about an album actress? This is for the police to investigate," he added. Previously, while Raja Acharya, in a television interview, had alleged that Patnaik had "threatened" him, his close aide, Chagala, had named the IAS officer as a "conspirator". Patnaik, who is the president of the judo association set up by Biranchi Das, is also a part of the trust meant for wunderkid Buddhia Singh. Biranchi Das, as secretary of the association, was the managing trustee. In December 2007, Buddhia's mother, Sukanti Singh, had filed an FIR against Biranchi Das at Bargarh police station (Bhubaneswar) accusing him of misappropriation of trust Funds. She had alleged that Biranchi had embezzled funds meant for Buddhia. The trust fund reportedly runs into crores of rupees. |

My current thoughts:
This seems like a case of "No good deed goes unpunished."
This is what I have gathered from reading the papers.
1. Raja Acharya is a gangster, and like many gangsters, the police had
not been able to keep him in jail.
2. Leslie Tripathy is an actress and daughter of a BJB College
lecturer. I.e., she is from a middle class family.
3. Raja Acharya harasses Leslie and is after her to marry him.
4. Leslie complains to police. Police summons Raja Acharya, but
releases him.
5. Leslie's father, seeing that police did not do much, and with
harassment continuing, is desperate to find some way to stop his
daughter being harassed by a gangster. He somehow knows Priyabrata
Patnaik and asks for help. (Readers: Please put yourself in Leslie's
father's shoes. Think what you will do to protect your daughter from
the clutches of a gangster obsessed with her.)
6. Priyabrata Patnaik, an IAS officer, is the president of Judo
association and knows Biranchi well.
7. Priyabrata Patnaik asks Biranchi to set up a meeting with Raja
Acharya. In that meeting Priyabrata Patnaik and Biranchi ask Raja to
stop harassing Leslie.
8. Biranchi is shot dead. Raja is alleged to have shot Biranchi.
9. Priyabrata Patnaik is a tough IAS officer and a doer and in the
past probably has ruffled many feathers.
The above is the story.
It is really unfortunate that Priyabrata Patnaik, who it seems was
only trying to help a desperate family from the clutches of a gangster
is being removed from his position.
All critics of Priyabrata Patnaik, should put them in the shoes of
Leslie Tripathy's father and think what they would have done if a
gangster was after their daughter to marry him and police could not do
much.
Whose help would they have sought after they complained to the police
and the police did not do much?
Who would have helped them?
What would they think of the person who came forward to help them
despite the general public's fear of gangsters, and the gangster's
success which allowed him to roam free and avoid from being convicted
and put in jail.
Disclaimer: This is based on what I have read. Perhaps there is
something that I do not know.
(The only question that I have is what kind of relationship existed
between gangster Raja and Biranchi. Priyabrata Patnaik's relationship
was with Biranchi, and if Biranchi had some relationship with Raja,
does that somehow taint Priyabrata Patnaik? Note that there has not
been any news of Biranchi himself having any history of being involved
in any illegal activities. )

Even if one goes by the version given by the IAS, that it was Leslie's father who approached him to rescue his daughter from the wrath of Raja, then question arises that why he did not inform the police and chose to become a �saint� in taking on a deadly don.

The Answer probably is : An IAS officer, being part of the system, knows the ugly nexus of Crime Master RAJA and police; I am surprised Mr. D.N.Singh is asking this question ?
In Berhampur, I know for sure that there is an other Crime Master turned politician, who sits in his Durbar surrounded with a bunch of 'Bahu Bali' 'Pahelman's and extorting money from businessmen.
When I suggested such a Businessman to complain SP & see what he does. He laughed at me saying that the SP wants peace in his area and if the Crime master politician is touched by SP, his rowdy sycophant 'Chela's will create chaos in the CITY. Hence, with this kind of police in Orissa, it is better to concede to the demands of gangster; at least your life is saved & you don't have to live in fear thinking about your near & dears.
I hope that before analyzing such news, our senior journalists, who must be very very well informed than me, should always analyze facts based on the released information to public. Anything which is not yet released & probably known to CP / CM - we can wait.
This is my personal opinion. I also noticed that some portal are trying to Mix some POSCO & other issues with this - that is also unfair & totally a separate issue. The CM were very much aware of the same & approved those decisions. So if our CM lacks judgement - why blame shri Priyabrata Patnaik.
In USA, 'Judgement capability' of the candidate is one of the most debated factor for getting Presidential Democratic nominations which is fought between Mrs. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Barrack Obama ; the US citizens do consider 'Judgment' capability of leader is important for Good and efficient Governance.

| Biranchi murder trail: Cops on the edge |
D.N. Singh
In a bizzare twist of events, as was feared, judo coach Biranchi Das murder case has slipped into unfathomable mystery. The sequence of revelations, in fact, can make a puzzle out of any probe; And with the name of an Orissa IAS officer tagged along with the suspects' list, the job of the investigators has become harder. The co-accused in the case, Chagla alias Akshya Behera, has maintained his stance that the IAS officer in question, Priyabrat Patnaik, had remained in the background of the cold-blooded killing and was a part of the conspiracy. And the recent confession by Patnaik before the police that he not only knew Raja but had met him at the judo hall of Biranchi on more than one occasion has given further steam to the doubts. The admission about his link with the gangster and the co-accused has raised questions like what Business did a top bureaucrat had with a man of Raja's reputation? If the issue of Raja and the starlet Leslie- her alleged affection to one of the involved parties being reason of the killing- was anything to go by, then apparently Patnaik was trying to play the big brother�s role in �rescuing� Leslie from the claws of the don. That might have been the reason why Patnaik had assigned the role of a moderator to Biranchi to take on Raja; Biranchi perhaps overstepped his limits. Priyabrat Patnaik has been quizzed but the police was not ready to share with the media all that he had spilled during the interrogation. But the subsequent step taken by the government against the IAS, by stripping him of his duties and reducing him to the state of an 'officer without duty ', is no less an indicator at the seriousness of his involvement. Question also remains why was Biranchi killed if not for Leslie. The slain judo coach was in fact an old acquaintance of Raja, who belonged to the same locality of Bhubaneswar, but the strain in their relation might have been an outcome of a design to keep Raja away from the video starlet, who, possibly was equally sought after by the officer. Even if one goes by the version given by the IAS, that it was Leslie's father who approached him to rescue his daughter from the wrath of Raja, then question arises that why he did not inform the police and chose to become a �saint� in taking on a deadly don. From the day Biranchi was shot dead, the state capital police has been on the edge and keeps buying time, propounding theories after theories. What happened to the theory of scrap-deal feuds, nobody knows ! The police had simply removed a couple of its officers suspected to be involved in that multi-crore racket. Iron scrap-deal is going on in Orissa as nobody's business with criminal ease and an impartial inquiry can always expose the players and among them very highly placed ones. But it is again the question of moles within ! Suppose, that was one of the reasons which led to the murder, then Biranchi, possibly, was made a sacrificial goat or even he had a finger in that pie or he knew a lot about that nexus. Too many leads and the emerging complexities, it has got the police on the ropes. On one side is Raja Acharya and on the other the fresh clues that point to the mess in which either the police or the officialdom is on the firing line. As regards Raja, for a transparent picture behind the episode, the latter should be caught alive or with him would be burried many questions yet to be answered. Further delay in the inquiry would have an impact on the political image of Naveen Patnaik whose government will be facing elections in the near future. |

I am agree with you and knows very well that Mr D.N Sing a senior correspondence of ZEE Net work was present after the incident and cover all the part after Biranchi Assassination .He and his team taken interview of the victims along with suspected peoples. In our country media plays a great role to trap the dons like 100 times dangerous than RAJA Acharya. The senior Cops always need help and support from electronics media to solve this type of mysterious case.In this case all the electronics media giving maximum importance to elaborate the cause of murder but not trying to capture the main accused or not getting any information about his hide out.
It is my sincere request through you to the media like Zee,NDTV,CNN IBN,XNEWS, ETV and others to do little more efforts to captured a immature don like acharya.
