Shocking: BJD Spokesperson Questions Odisha Police’s ‘No One Guilty’ Claim in Puri Case
In a recent development that has left many stunned, the Odisha Police have claimed that their investigation into the case of a 21-year-old woman who was allegedly set ablaze by three unidentified miscreants in Puri has reached its final stage, and surprisingly, nobody is involved in the incident. This shocking statement has been met with skepticism and criticism by many, including the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) spokesperson, Sasmit Patra.
According to reports, the incident occurred on April 15, when the victim, a resident of Puri, was allegedly set on fire by three unidentified individuals while she was on her way to meet her family. The victim succumbed to her injuries on April 21, leaving behind a trail of shock and anger among the people of Odisha.
The Odisha Police, in a post on X, claimed that they had concluded their investigation into the incident and had found no evidence to suggest that anyone was involved in the crime. This statement has been met with widespread criticism, with many questioning the sincerity and thoroughness of the investigation.
Reacting to the police’s statement, Sasmit Patra, the BJD spokesperson, said that it was shocking that the police could claim that the investigation had reached its final stage and that nobody was involved in the incident, barely two weeks after the crime was committed. “How can a criminal investigation end in 14 days?” he asked, raising questions about the thoroughness and efficiency of the investigation.
Patra also questioned the police’s decision to close the case without any concrete evidence or leads. “What does this say about the state of our criminal justice system?” he asked. “Is it acceptable to just close a case without properly investigating and bringing the perpetrators to justice?”
Patra also pointed out that the police’s statement was not only shocking but also insensitive to the victim’s family and the people of Odisha. “The victim’s family is still in shock and mourning, and the police’s statement has only added to their distress,” he said.
The BJD spokesperson also demanded a thorough and independent investigation into the incident, saying that the people of Odisha deserved to know the truth about what happened. “We demand that the police re-open the case and conduct a thorough and independent investigation,” he said. “We also demand that the government takes immediate action to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice and that the victim’s family gets justice.”
The incident has also raised questions about the safety and security of women in Odisha. The state has witnessed a surge in crimes against women in recent years, and many have demanded that the government takes immediate action to ensure their safety and security.
In conclusion, the Odisha Police’s claim that nobody is involved in the Puri case has raised more questions than answers. The investigation has been criticized for being incomplete and inconclusive, and many have demanded a thorough and independent probe into the incident. The government and the police must take immediate action to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice and that the victim’s family gets justice.
