A day after the Odisha Soochana Adhikar Abhijan (OSAA), a forum for the State’s Right to Information (RTI) activists, alleged that 74 police personnel were deployed for the protection of V. K. Pandian, Chairperson, 5T (Transformational Initiatives), the State police administration on Saturday said there was no veracity in the claim.
“We have not supplied any information under the RTI Act that talks about security cover provided to Chairperson of 5T (Transformational Initiative) to the applicant,” Prateek Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bhubaneswar, said on Saturday.
Mr. Singh is also the designated public information of officer under the RTI Act for the Commissionerate Police here. “We are assessing the veracity of the purported letter which is claimed to be in existence,” he said.
