BHUBANESWAR: Senior BJP leader Bijoy Mohapatra on Sunday said that efforts were made to resolve the issues between Mamita and Govinda Sahu, prime accused of the case, at Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra’s Raipur residence in Chhattisgarh.
“The events of the entire case started occurring two months ago. Minister Mishra, Govinda Sahu and Mamita had tried to settle the issue at the Raipur-based residence of the Minister. However, they failed to resolve it,” Mohapatra told the media.
“Telephone call records of the Minister, Sahu and Mamita should be brought under the purview of the investigation to establish the truth. As far as I know, police have examined some call records of Dibya Shankar Mishra and informed the Chief Minister about the findings in a ‘sealed cover’,” he said.
Notably, the murder of 24-year-old Mamita of Jharni village under Turekela block of Balangir district has sent shockwaves across the State. Mamita was working as a teacher at the Sunshine English Medium School at Mahaling in Kalahandi district, of which Govinda Sahu, now arrested, is the owner.
Opposition BJP and Congress have been demanding resignation of Minister Mishra alleging his links with Sahu. Several videos of Mishra joining functions at the school and praising Sahu have surfaced.
