Jharsuguda: Senior BJP leader and Bargarh MP Pradeep Purohit dropped a bombshell on the the murder of Naba Kishor Das, former Minister by alleging that a person who had the aspiration to become the next CM of the State was the mastermind behind the killing.

In the meantime, Dipali Das, a BJD leader and daughter of former minister Naba Kishore Das today said her family will soon write to Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi for CBI probe into the murder of her father.
Dipali said this after Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan said the family of the ex-minister should make a formal complaint and give in writing for a CBI probe into the matter.
“We have already urged the Chief Minister for a CBI probe into the murder of our father. We will also write to the government in this regard,” she told reporters.
“If the government is sensitive to this issue and truly respects my late father, I believe they should take this step,” she said. Dipali further assured full cooperation in the investigation process, saying, “We will do whatever is required to aid the investigation and will support it in every way.”
Naba Kishore Das was shot dead by a policeman on January 29, 2023. He was a Cabinet Minister and held the Health and Family Welfare portfolio in the previous Naveen Patnaik government. The crime branch of the Odisha Police probed into the killing of the ex-minister and arrested a policeman in this connection.
