Puri: A complaint case has been filed against Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at sub-divisional judicial magistrate (SDJM) court in Puri today holding him responsible for the suicide of Kunduli gang rape victim.

As per sources, the Sachetan Nagarik Manch has filed the case alleging that the minor girl committed suicide as the Home Department failed to provide justice to her. And the Chief Minister is responsible for it as he heads the department.

Therefore, the case should be handed over to the CBI for an impartial probe, Sachetan Nagarik Manch demanded.

"A case has been registered against the Chief Minister. What type of ‘ideal Chief Minister’ is he as a Class IX girl had to commit suicide after approaching his department umpteen number of times? Therefore, we took shelter of the court and lodged a case against him under sections 302, 306, 376, 506 and 120B of IPC," said Convenor of Sachetan Nagarik Manch, Priyadarshan Pattnaik.
