Congress Legislature Party Leader Narasingha Mishra on Wednesday reiterated his demand for action against erring police officials in the case of suspected rape and killing of Jajpur district’s Haridaspur VLW Smitrarani Biswal.
“Investigation into the suspected killing and rape of Jajapur VLW is not being conducted properly. The victim’s father and father-in-law were forced to sign FIRs written to suit the accused. The FIR filed by the husband of the victim has been suppressed by police officials,” alleged Mishra.
He demanded that the Speaker gives a direction to the Governent to take action against the erring officials.
Besides, Mishra also urged the Speaker to direct the Government to ensure that all its officers responds to the MLAs’ letters and telephone calls under the Book Circular 47.
“The Chief Minister, Ministers and Government are violating the Book Circular 47 by not responding to MLAs’ queries. The officers are also disrespecting MLAs,” alleged Mishra.
In response, Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro advised the MLAs to approach the Ethics Committee which can summon erring officers and seek clarification.
