The Biswa Manabika Adhikar Sangathan (BMAS), a rights outfit, submitted a memorandum at the Odisha Human Rights Commission (OHRC) in Bhubaneswar on Saturday against role of police in the alleged custodial death of K Ramesh in Baselisahi police station on Wednesday last.
The BMAS demanded a probe by the CBI on role of police in death of Ramesh in custody. A team led by BMAS national president Avirna Hota, district advisor Manas Mohapatra and district president Gaurisankar Songhai (Sukuta) in a letter raised the laxity of police behind the cruel death of the youth and in particular the role of Baselisahi PS IIC Jibanabda Jena, who was already on a leave by then.
They raised suspicions over the leave letter of IIC Jena, who according to them, was known present on that day in the PS. They wanted that the CCTV footages in the PS on the day be made public, said Singhari.
