Odisha ASI may have killed minister to ‘avenge’ rebuff over job for kin

Odisha health minister Naba Kisore Das’s fatal shooting by ASI Gopal Das in Jharsuguda district's Brajarajnagar may have been an act of “revenge” triggered by the former allegedly turning down the police officer's request to give a relative of his a job, the crime branch said Monday. Gopal was quoted as saying during his interrogation that he attacked Naba Das “in a fit of rage” the previous day as he was “upset” at being rebuffed by the minister when they met around three months ago.
