They have also sought action against the Naib tehsildar and station
officer of Soraon police station for harassing his family.

District Youth Congress president Abhishek Shukla said the land
belonging to Rakesh was forcibly occupied by some persons who were
given patta of the said land. When these persons started some
construction on the said land, the YC workers gheraoed the district
magistrate (DM) over the issue few days back.

On his part, the DM ordered an inquiry into the matter and asked the
officials concerned to stop the construction on the said land. But,
the SO and naib tehsildar delayed taking action and instead
reprimanded the aggrieved party, Shukla said.

Demanding compensation for the family of the deceased, YC secretary
Ajit Bhaskar said that the state government is not paying heed to the
grievances of the poor and Dalits which is resulting in their
exploitation.
