Odisha ex-MP caught on camera asking supporters to ‘set fire’ to things during bandh

Not denying having made the call, the Congress leader told media, “I believe in non-violence. We have always protested for people’s safety and rights; sat on hunger strikes. But we have not received justice”. Majhi was referring to the rape and murder of a tribal girl, believed to be a minor, in Nabarangpur district earlier this month. He also asked the government to release the postmortem report.

Nabarangpur SP Nitin Kusalkar Dagdu said, “Postmortem report cannot be released since it is part of the probe. Perpetrators will be apprehended.”
