Demanding a CBI probe into the murder of MPharma student Manmohan Pradhan, who was killed by a group of goons on August 19, the parents of the deceased along with the activists of the All India Democratic Youth Organisation (AIDSO) and Student-Youth Action Committee Delang-Puri on Tuesday staged a rally here to press their issues.
Also demanding Rs 50 lakh of compensation and a Government job to one of the deceased student’s family members, the agitators decried the inordinate delay on the part of the Commissionerate police to nab the main accused in the murder case who is still at large.
“How can we trust the police administration which even after one month of the crime is unable to arrest the main accusedIJ He was our only son. The police action so far is not satisfactory. Hence, we demand a CBI inquiry into the murder to unearth the exact reason of the murder, besides the arrest of the main accused,” said deceased student’s father Mitu Kishore Pradhan.
Student-Youth Action Committee president lenin Mohanty urged the Chief Minister to order a CBI probe into the murder. later, the agitators submitted memorandum to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik highlighting their issues.
