Bhubaneswar: Gangstar Raja Acharya the main accused in judo coach Biranchi Das's murder, is to be kept handcuffed inside the Jharpada jail premises following his reported threatening calls to Oriya album actress Leslie Tripathy and Bidusmita Mantri. The decision of the State Prison Department came a day after the two actresses sought the help of the city police.
"As the gangster is in judicial custody, we would approach the city SDJM court seeking permission to handcuff Raja, Inspector General (Prisons) V Thiagarajan told reporters here on Friday.
The IG further said that Jharpada jail officials have been asked to remain vigilant and keep a close watch on Raja's movements in jail. "It is very shocking, we would act only after getting specific leads," he added.
Sources said that the gangster was using SIM cards of different mobile service providers to fool both police and jail officials. A few lower ranking jail officials and Raja's co-accomplices were helping him in his nefarious activities. Raja's game plan came to light after he made threatening calls and sent SMS to Oriya album actress Leslie.
The actress received as many as six calls and eight SMS from mobile no 9938619653 since the last two days till Friday morning. Interestingly, after Leslie's allegation, the said mobile phone has been switched off.
The owner of this Airtel cell phone no seems to be either a lower ranking officer of Jharpada jail or another criminal.
