‘Issues between Mamita and Govind were tried to be resolved at Minister’s residence’

Bhubaneswar: More shocking revelations and allegations are emerging in the sensational Mamita Meher murder case in Odisha as senior BJP leader Bijoy Mohapatra today said efforts were made to resolve the issues between the deceased and Govind Sahu, prime accused of the case, at Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra’s Raipur residence.

“The events of the entire case started occurring two months ago. Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra, Govind Sahu and Mamita Meher had tried to settle the issue at the Raipur-based residence of the minister. However, they failed to resolve it,” said Mohapatra.

“Telephone call records of the minister, Govind 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.
