Bhubaneswar/Bolangir: Family members of Gobinda Sahu, who allegedly died by suic*de in jail custody in 2022, met Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi Sunday and demanded reopening of the case.
Sahu, the prime accused in the 2021 murder of a female teacher in Kalahandi district, reportedly died by suic*de inside the Kantabanji Sub-Jail in Bolangir district in December 2022.
Suspecting “foul play” in the death of Sahu, his wife and daughter met the CM at his residence in the evening, and demanded a reinvestigation into the case, according to a statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Office.
They have submitted a memorandum to CM Majhi in this regard, it said.
Speaking to reporters after meeting Majhi, Sahu’s daughter Lipika said, “My father had not murdered the teacher. The person who killed her also killed my father. We have been denied justice by the previous government. So, we met the chief minister and demanded a CBI probe into the case.”
The CM has assured us to order an inquiry, she said.
