Jajpur: Politics is now active over the brutal murder of Abhimanyu Das, a BJP worker in Jajpur district, with senior leaders of the party alleging ‘direct involvement’ of BJD MLA from Binjharpur Pramila Mallick in the case.

At a press conference held on Tuesday, BJP’s OBC Cell state president Krushna Chandra Patra accused that local MLA and block chairman are behind the murder.

The leaders of the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) had conspired to kill Abhimanyu with help of contract killers, BJP leaders alleged.

Abhimanyu, who was the block president of the BJP’s OBC cell at Binjharpur, was killed in a bomb attack at Naunbanka under Binjharpur police limits in the district late on Sunday night.

However, BJD MLA Pramila Mallick rubbished the allegations and demanded an impartial probe into the death of the BJP worker.

“It is conspiracy done by BJP as they have no other issues to counter us. They (BJP) have killed their own worker and are blaming us. The matter should be investigated and the culprits should be arrested immediately,” said Mallick

Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased have lodged a complaint against seven persons with Binjharpur police while no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.

“The exact motive of the murder can be ascertained only after a detailed investigation,” said Inspector-in-charge of Binjharpur police station Asit Mohanty.
