Murdered M Pharma student’s parents, supporters seek CBI probe, stage protest rally

-
Bhubaneswar: Dissatisfied over the police investigation into the murder of M Pharma student Manmohan Pradhan, who was killed by a group of goons during a brawl near Chintamanishwar temple on August 19 last month, the parents of the deceased along with the State unit of All India Democratic Youth Organisation and Student-Youth Action Committee (SYAC) of Delanga of Puri district, on Tuesday took out a protest rally and demanded immediate shifting of the case to CBI and Rs 50 lakh compensation to the deceased student’s family members.

Holding Banner and placards, hundreds of supporters took out the rally from Master Canteen square to lower PMG demanding justice for the deceased family. The protestors too demanded a Government job to one of the deceased family since he was the only son of their family.

“Miscreants killed my son brutally. Even though a month has already elapsed into the murder, the Commissionerate police are yet to nab the main accused. How do we trust on the police for justice,” said father of the murdered student Mitu Kishore Pradhan, demanding a CBI probe into the murder.

Submitting memorandum to the Chief Minister and highlighting their demands, the protestors led by SYAC president Lenin Mohanty urged the Chief Minister to ensure immediate arrest of the other two main accused and to handover the case to CBI for impartial inquiry to unearth the exact reason of the murder.

“If the said demands were not provided to the victim’s family by the government then we will take the protest to the streets in the coming days,” warned Mohanty.
