This has not gone well with the victim’s family who demanded his immediate arrest. Recently, Sahu, the main accused in the sensational Bolangir lady teacher murder case was spotted wandering around during ‘Bahudra Yatra’ at Mahaling village in Kalahandi district.
The Minister also stated that the investigation has been completed and it was done on the basis of adequate proofs. The investigation did not find involvement of any third person.
The court has scheduled the next hearing into the matter on March 21.
The Sindhekala police, which investigated the case,have mentioned two names of Gobinda Sahu, the prime accused in the murder case and his driver Radhe, who is the co-accused, in the charge sheet, under sections 302, 201 and 120 (B) of the IPC.
In the event the police fail to file the charge sheet even after six days, it will make it easy for prime accused Sahu to avail bail, lawyers opined.
The court of the additional district and sessions judge, Kantabanji observed that the accused had earlier fled the police custody and may escape again if released on bail.
The additional district and sessions judge court of Kantabanji will take up the bail application for hearing on December 6.
On October 8, 24-year-old Mamita left for Mahaling from her village Jharni and was received the president of the managing committee of her school Gobinda Sahu near Sindhikela. Later, her family failed to contact her as she went missing for several days until the missing teacher's brother alleged involvement of Sahu behind the case.
Amid the rising protests against the government and the Minister, BJD spokesperson Pratap Deb during a presser on Saturday said, “If any party person is convicted for any crime, BJD will drop him/her. Such stringent actions have been taken earlier and will continue in future as well.”
As per legal experts, the case diary, in this case, looks very neat. And the prime accused Gobinda Sahu had delivered evidence to the Odisha police, what he wanted
Earlier on Wednesday, Bolangir Police had produced Sahu before the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Court in Bangomunda which allowed the cops to take Sahu on remand for five days.
Calling Sahu a fraudster, Singh alleged that Sahu cheated him and his son by making a lucrative offer of good jobs plus paying Rs 2000 per decimal land. But paid them Rs 30,000 instead of Rs 2.40 lakh - the entire amount for 1.27 acres of land as per the deal.
The child rights panel took cognizance of the allegations that Gobinda Sahu, the owner of a school in Mahaling, sexually exploited minors. Sahu has been arrested recently for killing Mamita Meher, a lady teacher of the school.
Even as the key accused has made an extra-judicial confession, bumpy roads ahead for Odisha police. For securing maximum punishment in a section 302 case, independent evidence proving cruel motive will be the clincher
Sahu reportedly gave the demonstration at the crime spot, from where the body of Mamita Meher was exhumed on October 19, for around 10-15 minutes.
