Asked about if he doesn’t trust the State’s investigation agency, the legislator said, “It is not about the agency that carried out the investigation, rather it is about the then government which influenced the police in the investigation process.”

“When people don’t have trust on the investigation process carried out by the Odisha Police, then we must hand over the cases to a higher investigating agency which is CBI. There is nothing wrong,” the MLA added.
