In a significant development in the high-profile murder case of former Odisha Health Minister Naba Das, the Crime Branch has once again interrogated the wife of the prime accused, Gopal Das. The interrogation took place in Berhampur, where a dedicated team from the Crime Branch questioned her extensively for over an hour on Saturday.

Sources close to the investigation revealed that the interrogation focused on understanding the events leading up to the shocking assassination. Investigators sought detailed information regarding the frequency and nature of conversations between Gopal and his wife before the murder took place. They are particularly interested in finding out whether Gopal had shared any unusual thoughts, plans, or behavior patterns with her prior to the incident.

Focus Back On Fresh Probe In Case

This marks the second round of investigation by the Crime Branch in the case, which has already garnered widespread attention across the state and beyond. As of now, the team has interrogated at least eleven individuals closely linked to the accused Gopal Das or the circumstances surrounding the murder.

The repeated questioning of Gopal Das’ wife suggests that the Crime Branch is meticulously examining every lead to determine whether she had any prior knowledge or indirect involvement in the planning or motivation behind the killing.

Former Minister Naba Das was shot dead in broad daylight, allegedly by Gopal Das, a serving police officer at the time. The murder sent shockwaves through Odisha’s political and administrative circles, raising pressing concerns about internal security and mental health assessments within the police force.

While the motive remains officially undisclosed, the Crime Branch appears determined to unravel every thread in this complex case. The second round of investigation signals a deepening of the probe, as officials aim to bring justice to one of the most sensational political assassinations in recent Odisha history.

As the investigation unfolds, all eyes remain on the Crime Branch’s next move and whether further revelations will emerge from those close to the accused.

In a significant move, the Crime Branch officials earlier had retrieved and started examining the old call records of the accused to identify all individuals he was in contact with prior to the murder.
