The Paradip police, investigating into the murder of Seaways Shipping and logistics Private limited (SSPl) general manager Mahendra Swain, on Friday issued a notice to Odisha Stevedores limited (OSl) managing director Mahimananda Mishra’s nephew Chinmay Mishra and OSl accountant Rabindra Dalei asking them to appear before the police by January 15.
Dalei had earlier appeared at the Paradip police station on January 10 and was reportedly questioned about the financial transactions of the company during the murder.
Similarly, Mahima Mishra’s two sons Chandan and Charchit had presented themselves before the Paradip police on January 11.
Notably, Mahima Mishra has been arrested over his alleged involvement in the murder which took place at Paradip on October 26 last.
According to police, one Rakesh Choubey of Jharkhand had received Rs 12 lakh cash in advance from the OSl in September last to execute Swain.

The police would take Mishra on remand from Saturday. Mishra’s counsels had pleaded that their client has been cooperating with the police. He is facing serious issues. So, on the grounds, he should not be sent on police remand, they argued.
