Odisha Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra broke his silence after 3 weeks on the much-discussed lady teacher Mamita Meher murder case. In an exclusive interview with News18 Odia, the minister asserted that he has no connection with the incident.
Responding to the allegations, MoS Home Capt. Dibya Shankar Mishra said that “I am deeply saddened and anguished by the unfortunate death of Ms. Mamita Meher. I have no link in this incident. The allegation which has been raised by congress MLA Santosh Singh Saluja is baseless and tells a story. Mr. Saluja knew it very well that I stayed in his village on that day for a program. Whoever may be must be punished. Each allegation against me is false. I won’t say that Govind Sahu is the owner of Sun Shine Public School and a member of Mahalinga College. Who has raised the question of Raipur link is false & baseless. Everyone knows my tour program. I was staying in MLA’s village on that day”.
Briefing to Media Congress MLA Santosh Singh Saluja said that “Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra was staying in Raipur from 20th Sept 23rd September. Mr Mishra was negotiating between Govind Sahu & lady teacher Mamita Meher to sort out the problem,”

Notably, the prime accused Govind Sahu has been arrested by Balangir police on lady teacher Mamita Meher’s murder case.
