Dibya Shankar Mishra is said to be close to accused in murder of a teacher
There have been growing protests against Odisha’s Minister of State for Home Dibya Shankar Mishra following the murder of a lady teacher in Kalahandi district last week.
Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress accused Mr. Mishra of having close relationship with Gobinda Sahu, promoter of Mahaling Anchalik Mahavidyalaya, who has reportedly confessed to killing the teacher. Police said on Wednesday that Sahu killed Mamita Meher, a teacher in Sunshine English Medium School, to stop her from revealing his extra-marital affairs.
After observing 12-hour-bandh in Kalahandi district on Wednesday, BJP enforced a 12-hour-bandh in Balangir district demanding the Minister’s ouster. It demanded the immediate arrest of the Minister and a CBI inquiry. A BJP delegation moved the State Human Rights Commission accusing the police of trying to protect the Minister.
