Bhubaneswar, July 15: BJP MP from Bargarh Suresh Pujari claimed that the 543-page charge sheet filed by the Crime Branch in the murder case of former health minister Naba Das is nothing but ‘waste paper’ and the agency tried to hide the truth.
Accused Gopal Das killed Naba Kishore Das on January 29 in stable mind due to some personal grudge, the Crime Branch which is investigating the case said in the charge sheet filed in a Jharsuguda court on May 26.
“After studying the charge sheet thoroughly, I feel that the Crime Branch had put in considerably less effort to uncover the truth behind the murder than they did to conceal it,” Pujari told a press conference here.
He said the investigating agency is yet to trace the bullet that killed the minister.
The CB has not also verified the call record of the accused. Had they done it, the direction of the investigation would have changed. If the conspiracy angle in the case is investigated, big criminals can be brought to justice,” Pujari said.
He also added that, “This chargesheet is a waste paper. A constable of Odisha Police will conduct a better investigation than the Crime Branch. Gopal Das will be saved during the trial and the masterminds in the case are already on the safe side.”
