BJP MLA Jayanarayan Mishra reiterates CBI probe into Naba Das murder case

Senior BJP leader and MLA Jaynarayan Mishra has reiterated his demand for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the high-profile murder case of former Odisha Minister Naba Das. Speaking to the media, Mishra stated that he had previously called for a CBI investigation and continues to stand by his demand.

“My demand remains unchanged. If the victim’s family requests the Odisha government for a CBI probe, I will exert pressure on the government to ensure justice. I had earlier mentioned meeting the Chief Minister regarding the case, and today that meeting is set to take place,” said Mishra.

As two years have already passed since the murder of former BJD minister Naba Das, the BJP MLA expressed concerns over possible tampering of crucial documents, questioning their whereabouts and authenticity.

Crime Branch Intensifies Investigation

The Odisha Crime Branch has stepped up its investigation, questioning Naba Das' wife for the second consecutive day on Wednesday. Her statement has been officially recorded and will undergo further scrutiny as part of the ongoing probe.
