BHUBANESWAR: Hours after Gobinda Sahu, the prime accused in last year’s sensational Mamita Meher murder case allegedly died by suicide inside the Kantabanji sub-jail in Balangir district on Tuesday, Odisha DGP Sunil Bansal entrusted the state Crime Branch to probe the circumstances leading to the UTP’s unnatural death.
"The Crime Branch will find out the nature of Sahu’s death and the motive," DGP Bansal said. Sources said the prisons directorate too has directed a DIG to conduct an internal inquiry into the UTP’s death and recommend disciplinary action against the jail staff for alleged negligence.
