BHUBANESWAR: BJP Mahila Morcha National President Vanathi Srinivasan on Saturday demanded the removal of Minister of State (Home) Dibya Shankar Mishra for his alleged involvement with the prime accused in Mamita Meher murder case.
Speaking to the media persons, Srinivasan said, “The Minister must step down for the sake of free and fair investigation.”
She also reiterated the demand for a CBI probe into the murder case.
Notably, a BJP central team led by Srinivasan met the family members of the victim at her village in the Bolangir district.
The BJP central team requested Naveen Patnaik to provide financial assistance from the Central Victim Compensation Fund scheme to Meher’s family.
The BJP also on Saturday alleged that while the Mamita Meher murder case has evoked State-wide protests and people are suspecting the involvement of Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra in it and Mamita’s mother is hopsitalised, Mishra was roaming with the Kalahandi district Collector and SP on the Saturday.
Party State general secretary Lekhashri Samantsinghar told reporters that the needle of suspicion points to the Minister but he is allegedly trying to destroy all evidences of his involvement, which is suspected for his movement with the district Collector and SP.
She alleged that from the very beginning the police administration is working at the behest of the Minister.
