Nayagarh: (Report- Ramakrushna Rath): A large group of journalists in the Nayagarh district recently uncovered an organised plot to harm the reputation of respected citizens. An outside group is actively using social media platforms to target politicians, lawyers, and journalists. The attackers regularly post inappropriate and hurtful comments to insult these professionals and their organisations. 
To stop this continuous online harassment, members of the Nayagarh Journalist Association met with the District Superintendent of Police (SP), S. Sushree. The journalists submitted a formal letter and strongly requested immediate police action against the responsible individuals.
Surprisingly, the police action did not stop the online group. The accused individuals ignored the police case and continued their activities. They even started publishing new videos and posts specifically targeting the entire journalist association and its working members.
The journalist association specifically named two individuals in their police complaint. They identified Jitendra Kumar Sahu from Rajbagicha and Shantanu Bisoyi from Dandor village as the main leaders of this group.
Through their formal memorandum, the association presented the following demands to the police:
Arrest the accused individuals immediately under the law.
Investigate the matter deeply to find and expose any hidden planners behind this scheme.
Permanently block the Facebook accounts that the offenders use for these illegal activities.
Many other senior journalists, including Ramakrishna Rath, Husen Khan, Rajat Patnaik, and several others, joined the gathering. A large number of local reporters stood together to show their unity and support for their colleagues.
The journalists gave a clear warning at the end of their meeting. They announced that they will launch a massive, organised protest in the coming days if the local police administration fails to take quick and strict action against the online group.
