A local court in Cuttack district expressed strong displeasure over the sluggish pace of investigation into a murder case involving Odisha Law Minister Pratap Kumar Jena, alleged to be an accused.
The case pertained to the murder of Kulamani Baral, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former chairperson of Mahanga block of Cuttack, and his associate Dibyasingh Baral, who were brutally hacked to death at their village, Nrutanga, in January this year.
Ramakant Baral, son of the deceased Kulamani Baral, had filed a case at the Mahanga Police Station against 13 persons, including the Minister, alleging their involvement in the murder. After investigation, the police had filed a charge-sheet against 14 accused persons, but dropped the name of the Minister.
