Bhubaneswar: Taking a swipe at the Odisha government over the killing of Health Minister Naba Das by a police officer, senior BJP leader and Union Minister Arjun Munda demanded on Saturday that the crime be investigated by an able and independent agency.
During a visit to the state, Munda told reporters in Bhubaneswar that the minister's gruesome murder was an unfortunate incident that raised serious concerns about the state's law and order situation.
The Tribal Affairs Minister, in asking the state government to take the killing seriously, said such a change in mindset in a police officer that led him to fire at the Minister and kill him raises serious questions about the condition of ordinary people.
"If such a situation can arise between a Minister and police, what will be the position of common people? "In such circumstances, who can the common people believe and trust?" he wondered.
As a result, the investigation into the murder should be conducted by a capable and independent agency to ensure a fair and impartial probe, according to the senior BJP leader, who also stated that the findings of the investigation should be made public.
While the Crime Branch of the Odisha police is investigating the murder, leaders of the BJP and other political parties have called for a CBI investigation.
