Naba Das murder case: Speculations over Gopal Das’ polygraph report

Many new important facts have come to the fore after the polygraph test report of the main accused and dismissed Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Gopal Das in Health Minister Naba Das' murder case surfaced on Friday. 

Now, question marks have been raised over the intention behind the murder of Naba Das.

 As per the polygraph report, Gopal had said during the test that a person named Manoj Bariya had told him that Naba Das had been angry with him for stopping his vehicle and reprimanding his supporters. Fearing a threat to his life from Naba Das, he started planning to eliminate the Health Minister.

However, several question marks have been raised after the polygraph test report was out. 

Under such circumstances, the question remains whether the Crime Branch quizzed Manoj regarding the matter or not? If the Crime Branch questioned Manoj, then did the late minister had really said this or Manoj said this with some other motive? 

If Manoj was not questioned, then what was the reason behind Crime Branch’s move? Did Manoj intimidate Gopal by saying that there is a threat from Naba Das?

As per the crime branch chargesheet, Gopal had revealed that if he had not killed Naba Das, then the latter would have eliminated him. Gopal also mentioned that he tried to kill Naba Das twice before but failed.

Meanwhile, Manoj stated that the Crime Branch has not asked him anything about whether Gopal was scared of Naba Das or not. Moreover, he never said Gopal anything like this.

“Gopal was suffering from bipolar disorder. As per the final report of the Crime Branch, Gopal killed Naba Das fearing that his life is under threat from him,” said Gopal’s lawyer Naresh Nayak.
