The HC had earlier granted him interim bail on health grounds.

Notably, Mishra was arrested by Padampur police on March 15 in connection with a firing incident near Banabira village under Sohela block of Bargarh district, in which a BJD worker had died.

He was then admitted to VIMSAR in Burla on April 22 after he complained of chest pain while being lodged in Sohela sub-jail. He was later shifted to SCB Hospital on April 24.

Mishra was eventually taken to AIIMS, Delhi on May 5 as his health condition deteriorated.
