Kruttibash, son of BJD woman leader Meenakshi Mishra who had set herself ablaze on February 12, has threatened to immolate himself if justice is not provided to him within 15 days.
Kruttibash said this after he was granted interim bail by the District and Sessions Judge Court at Brahmapur on Thursday. He was arrested by the Baidyanathpur police over his involvement in a parking brawl on January 28.
Meenakshi had attempted self-immolation protesting the arrest of her son.
Krutibash said that the allegations against him are false. He alleged that though his hometown is Brahamapur , the cops are asking him to stay outside the city. “Why should I live somewhere else? My mother self-immolated her, I too will immolate myself in front of DG office if I do not get justice within 15 days,” he threatened.
Notably, Raja had a fight with a youth Sunil in front of a Kalyan Mandap at Panda colony under the Baidyanathpur PS over parking . Following which Sunil and his friends assaulted Krutibash with a cricket bat, the video of which was captured in a CCTV camera installed near the spot and later went viral on social media.
When Meenakshi intervened to save her son, she was also attacked by the miscreants. Later, a complaint was lodged by Meenakshi following which three attackers were arrested by police. Later, Krutibash was also arrested on the basis of a counter FIR. But Meenakshi alleged that her son was falsely implicated and had no role in the attack. She had also written to Brahmapur SP Pinak Mishra demanding arrest of the attackers and release of her son.
Alleging police inaction in connection with the incident, Meenakshi set herself afire after pouring kerosene.
