Birendra Rishi is the mastermind behind illegal occupation of land in Malharia Pokhariya of Mahalgaon police station area of ​​Araria, Araria district. Before occupying the land, Birendra Rishi first got arrows and bows made at a blacksmith's place. After that, he gave training to his supporters in shooting arrows and instigated them to illegally occupy the land. Before occupying the land, he held a meeting in the villages around the house and made a plan. After that, on 23 September (Monday), early in the morning, along with his supporters and about 300 people, he illegally occupied 18 acres 79 decimals of land of landlord Bhup Narayan Yadav. When the police tried to free the illegal occupation, Birendra Rishi along with his supporters attacked the police with bows and arrows. It is being said that after the shooting of arrows and bows, the police fired in the air in self-defense.

Birendra Rishi's supporters attacked the police
Local people of Malharia Pokharia village told that landlord Bhup Narayan Yadav of Chainpur village has 18 acres 79 decimals of land in Malharia Pokharia Ward Village 1 of Araria Mahalgaon police station. Mastermind Birendra Rishi lured 200 people of the nearby village with land and also took five thousand rupees from each of them. After that, he illegally occupied 18 acres 79 decimals of land. When the police tried to free the illegal occupation, Birendra Rishi's supporters attacked the police. In this attack, 2 police officers of Jokihat police station were injured.

Along with this, FIR has been lodged against about 250 to 300 unknown people and raids have been started for the arrest of Birendra Rishi. Further investigation is going on in this case.

The game of illegal occupation started in 2015

The reason for illegal occupation of land is a mistake of the administration. It is said that 35 years ago, Jokihat Anchal Office of Araria district had declared 18 acres 79 decimal land of landlord Bhup Narayan Yadav as red card to about 100 Mahadalit families without any investigation. When landlord Bhup Narayan Yadav got the inkling of this, he fought against the administration in the court. And he also won. After that, in 2015, the Anchal administration called the Mahadalit families and first explained to everyone and then cancelled the red card. Even after the red card was cancelled, the people of the Mahadalit family did not agree. From there, mastermind Virendra Rishi came forward and the game of illegal occupation of land started from 2015.

All red cards were cancelled by publishing a gazette

Land owner Bhupnarayan Yadav said that the total area of ​​18 acres 79 decimal land in Khata 340 Khesra 219 is their Khatian land. About 35 years ago, red cards of the same land were made and given to about 100 Mahadalit families. When they came to know about this, they filed a case in the court against making the cards. In 2002 itself, the court heard the case and gave the decision in their favor. In this case, the court published a gazette and cancelled all the red cards. After this, in the year 2015, both the parties were called to the zonal office with the documents regarding the land. They also went to the zonal office and got the entire document inspected. After this, the zonal office told the Mahadalits that their red cards have been cancelled. Even after this, people from the Mahadalit community keep trying to occupy their land.
