Crime Branch Begins Reinvestigation

Earlier today, the Crime Branch started re-investigation into the high-profile murder case by recording the statements of family members. A two-member team from the Crime Branch reached Naba Das’ residence in Sarbahal in Jharsuguda and recorded the statements of Naba Das’ son Vishal Das, daughter Dipali Das, and wife Minati Das.

What Odisha Law Minister Said….

Odisha Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan on Tuesday said, “We had earlier told the family of late Minister Naba Das to request CM for reopening the case. It was seen that the investigation of such a sensitive case in which a minister was killed, was taken off course during the past government and several aspects were kept hidden. Keeping these factors in mind, the links in the case will be opened. The family members of the late minister have given time for recording their statements.”

BJD Responds….

BJD MLA Gautam Buddha Das said, “It was a sensitive case and the previous government had assigned the responsibility of the probe to the Crime Branch. The Opposition was then claiming that the investigation was not going on the right track. Now they (BJP) have been in power for the last nine months and they can go for a Crime Branch or CBI probe. Now we are hearing that the Law Minister said that again Crime Branch will reinvestigate the case.”
