Chandrapur police DB squad accused of seeking Rs 70,000 to allow banned Mangur fish trade
Allegations that a police DB squad demanded Rs 70,000 to let the banned Mangur fish business continue are doing the rounds in Chandrapur district; nothing has been confirmed.
A case involving the banned Mangur fish has been widely discussed in Chandrapur district for the past few days. It is alleged that the police DB squad demanded Rs 70,000 to let the trade in the fish continue.
According to the information that has emerged, Rs 40,000 was taken first, and the remaining Rs 30,000 is said to be due later. It is also claimed that a video was made while the money was being taken. The claim remains only a claim, and no confirmation of it has emerged.
The biggest question in the matter is which police station it is linked to. There is much talk, but suspense remains. It has emerged that the case is from Chandrapur district. The name of the station has not yet been made clear.
Three names have come up in the case: Sandeep, Sonu and Sandeep. According to the information, the three gave protection to a trader dealing in Mangur fish, that is, they kept him safe. All this is still at the level of allegation and information. No result of any inquiry or any action against anyone has emerged.
It is being said that Chandrapur district has got, for the first time, a Superintendent of Police who works with discipline in maintaining law and order. Even so, it is alleged that during the tenure of such an honest Superintendent of Police, some policemen are engaged in extorting money from those dealing in Mangur fish.
The government has banned Mangur fish. It is said that the fish, which is reared in filthy conditions, is highly dangerous to human health and can cause cancer and diabetes. According to the allegation, these three personnel are playing with people's health for a little money.
Information on the matter is currently being gathered. An attempt will be made in the coming days to unravel the case. The aim is also to take the names of the policemen concerned, along with full evidence, to senior officers so that the matter reaches a conclusion. Any new information will be placed before readers.
