Naba Das murder case: CM Mohan Majhi to meet late minister's wife

Odisha CM Mohan Majhi will meet Minati Das, the wife of former minister late Naba Das tomorrow at 5PM at the Lok Seva Bhavan. This meeting comes after the family of Naba Das requested an appointment with the CM in connection with the investigation into the minister’s murder.

The murder of the minister has been a matter of considerable concern, and the family is expected to discuss their expectations and any new developments with the Chief Minister at the upcoming meeting.

Daughter Dipali Das’ request

Earlier in the day, Dipali Das, a former BJD MLA and daughter of the slain minister expressed her desire to meet Chief Minister Mohan Majhi to discuss the ongoing investigation into her father’s murder case.

According to sources, she has sought an appointment with Chief Minister Mohan Majhi to submit a letter demanding a CBI probe into the case.

“I have requested permission to meet the CM regarding my family’s concerns. I want to personally hand over a letter demanding a CBI investigation into my father’s murder case,” Dipali Das said.

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.

Earlier investigation taken off course

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.”
