Activists of BJPs Mahila Morcha on Tuesday held a state-wide agitation demanding CBI probe into the mysterious death of Haridaspur Panchayat Extension Officer Smitarani Biswal in Jajpur district.
Members of the BJP Mahila Morcha held demonstration in front of all the district collectors across the state to intensify its demand of CBI probe. They also demanded action against Jajpur district SP for allegedly making remarks on the character of the deceased PEO and shielding the accused persons.
They also demanded action against the chairperson of the State Commission for Women (SCW) accusing her of taking a partisan stand in the Smitarani death case.
"We demand a CBI probe into Smitarani death case as the local police has been shielding the accused persons who belonged to ruling BJD. The Jajpur SP also gave remarks against the dead woman instead of conducting a neutral investigation," BJP Odisha Mahila Morch president Pravati Parida told reporters.
On the SWC chairperson, Parida said: "She has not met the family members of the victim during women panels investigation and worked supporting the accused persons belonging to the BJD."
