Business tycoon ad Odisha Stevedores limited (OSl) managing director Mahimananda Mishra, who has been arrested in connection with the murder of Seaways Shipping and logistics Private limited (SSPl) general manager Mahendra Swain, moved the Jagatsinghpur District and Sessions Judge Court on Friday seeking bail.
Mihsra, currently lodged in the Samagol jail near Kujang, had on Thursday been produced before the Kujang JMFC Court after completion of his four-day police remand period.
The court had also allowed the Talcher police to take Mishra on a one-day remand for further questioning over his alleged involvement in the Jalaram Transport firing (attempt-to-murder) case.
Before his arrest, the OSl chief had moved the Orissa High Court seeking anticipatory bail, but the court denied interim protection to him.
