Director General of Police (DGP) KB Singh on Thursday said there are sufficient evidences to arrest industrialist Mahimananada Mishra in connection with the Seaways Shipping general manager Mahendra Swain murder case.
“We have sufficient evidence, and we are trying to find out how his plane and chopper were used and how it helped to bring the criminals from Jharkhand. We will soon seize his firearms,” Singh told reporters here.
Asked when Mishra would be arrested, the DGP said, “I cannot disclose what leads we have about Mishra’s whereabouts.”
Meanwhile, the Jagatsinghpur police verified the licence documents of two aircrafts and a helicopter owned by the Mishra-owned Odisha Stevedores ltd (OSl) here at the Bhubaneswar airport again on Thursday.
Singh informed that the police would seize the firearms of Mishra and his son soon as the licences of the weapons have already been cancelled.”
Central Range IG Soumendra Priyadarshi has already confirmed the involvement of the OSl in the murder case. So far, five persons, including prime accused Rakesh Chaubey of Jamshedpur, have been arrested so far.
