Retd Judge Justice JP Das to monitor Naba Das murder case investigation

Bhubaneswar: Justice JP Das, retired judge of the Orissa High Court, will monitor the probe into minister Naba Das murder case.

The Odisha Crime Branch is currently investigating the case.

The Odisha Government had earlier written to the High Court urging for monitoring of the probe either by a sitting/ retired judge of the High Court or by a district judge.

Notably, the minister was allegedly shot in chest by Gopal Das, a former ASI of police, at Gandhi Chhak in Brajrajnagar area of Jharsuguda district on January 29. The firing took place when the minister alighted from a car to attend an inauguration programme and his supporters were garlanding him.

He was rescued in a critical condition and rushed to the Jharsuguda District Headquarters Hospital for treatment. As his condition deteriorated, the minister was then airlifted to Bhubaneswar, where he was admitted to Apollo Hospital.

However, he succumbed to bullet injuries while undergoing treatment at the private hospital.
