R’gada ZP Prez death: Cong demands probe

Tuesday, 31 December 2019 | PNS | RAYAGADA

Suspecting foul play in the death of its Rayagada Zilla Parishad President Purushottam Gamango, the Congress on Monday demanded a high-level inquiry into the incident.

Addressing a Press conference at Gunupur in the district, Congress’ Jeypore MLA Tara Prasad Bahinipati sought a fair probe either by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) or the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into death of Gamango.

Bahinipati pointed out that Gamango’s family has lodged a complaint at the Gunupur police station on Sunday seeking a reinvestigation into the case.

Notably, Gamango died in a road mishap December 24 evening, hours after losing a legal battle in the District & Sessions Judge Court to retain his post as the ZP President. He battled for life following the accident and finally succumbed next day.

Gamango met with the accident while he was returning to his house from the court by his motorcycle on the Ramanaguda-Gunupur road. He sustained grievous injuries after his vehicle hit a tree. Locals rescued him, after which he was taken to a hospital in Srikakulam, where the doctors declared him dead.
