“Various pieces of information are gradually coming to light. Very soon, the Odisha government will decide on the nature of the process needed for the case. If the government feels there is a need for CBI enquiry, it will be decided accordingly. Earlier during the previous BJD rule, people were afraid to speak up. But, now people are coming forward to speak out the truth and several new twists are coming out,” the Law Minister stated.

“Even Naba Das’ family members were afraid to open up. The questions that were on our minds are finally being answered. Now, that everything is coming out bit by bit, our government will ensure that truth prevails. Further course of action will be taken as per the need of the hour,” he added.
