Nagpur Rural police held a farmer from Umred tehsil for making a hoax call to Mumbai’s Mantralaya building on Sunday afternoon. The farmer made the phone call to highlight his plea of not getting compensation for his agricultural land acquired by Western Coalfields Ltd (WCL) in 1997.
A police official informed that the phone call was received at the Disaster Management Control Room set up in the Mantralaya building to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic at 12.40 pm. The farmer told the officials that a bomb was placed in the Mantralaya. Mumbai police personnel along with Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) teams rushed to the Mantralaya. The bomb squads checked the area and found nothing. The officials understood that it was a hoax. The investigating agencies then started searching for the caller and noticed that the call was made from Nagpur. Nagpur Rural Police went on alert mode and a farmer was detained. He confessed for making the call and said that for a long time, he was worried about the compensation of the acquired land. But no one was listening to his plea. He made this call to draw attention of the government and the administration, a police official claimed.
The farmer is identified as Sagar Kashinath Mandhre (40), a resident of Makardhokda village in Umred tehsil. Mandhre had seven acres of land near his village. Some part of the land he sold to a man while some part was acquired by WCL. He told the police that the WCL had not issued compensation to his acquired land. The official further said that Mandhre was physically handicapped. He wrote several applications to the administration to get the compensation from WCL. However, the administration denied his claim. He used to threaten administration of self-immolation on every Independence Day and Republic Day, the officil said.

It's a misconception of farmer : District Collector
District Collector Ravindra Thakre told ‘The Hitavada’ that he had examined his claim of compensation while working as Additional Commissioner at Divisional Commissioner’s office. “Its a misconception of Mandhre about not receiving compensation for his land,” said Thakre and cited that the papers of Mandhre were checked properly and measurement of the land was also taken.
