The government is hampering the investigation of the murder case because of a nexus between police and some political leaders. “We demand justice for Mamita.
We will intensify our protests across the state to pressurise the government for expulsion of the minister,” they shouted.
Owing to alleged lethargy of the police and the administration, crime graph in the state is rising while mafia has no fear for laws, BJP workers alleged. They said they would continue with their protests across the state until the minister is removed.
They also alleged that mafia acquires government land and sand in various parts of the state while minor girls are being trafficked to Surat, Chennai and other cities of the country. The law and order has completely collapsed in the state, they alleged. Traffic came to a standstill in Balasore town for five hours as the protesters laid siege to OT Road.
