Bhubaneswar: A day after the electrocution death of a 46-year-old man working as a domestic help at the official residence of Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Krushna Chandra Patra in the City, Opposition BJD Friday termed the incident ‘serious and alarming’ and demanded a proper investigation to fix responsibility.
Senior BJD leader Sanjay Das Burma sharply criticised the BJP government for the hurried manner in which the body of Shankarshan Nag, a native of the Belpahar area in Bolangir district, was handed over to his family.
While reports suggest the death was caused by an electric shock, Das Burma described it as a ‘serious and alarming incident’ at a government residence, pointing to a potential security lapse.
