Rourkela: Local political leader George Tirky Friday threatened to gherao the SP office at Rourkela October 3 in support of the family of Sushmita Minz, the assistant collector whose body was found floating in a pond in the Sensory Park September 19.
Besides, Susmita’s family is filing a case in the High Court of Orissa demanding a CBI inquiry and George has assured all help in this regard. Addressing mediapersons Friday at the Panthanivas here, the tribal leader labelled charges against the top officials of the district and also produced photographs of the deceased officer’s body.
“These have been clicked by the family members of Sushmita at the morgue, where the body was kept for postmortem. They have been threatened time and again by the police not to follow the case and to drop all the charges against them,” George alleged.
The photographs produced by George were reportedly captured by the family members and clearly showed injury marks on certain parts of her body. There were burn marks on her back and hands and marks on her wrist suggested as if a string like thing was tightly tied there. There were also marks of injury on her ankle and throat.
“She has been killed using a pillow. She was made to suffocate and at that time she was trying to save herself. There were signs of resistance and injuries on her neck,” said George. George has raised 22 questions, which he described as the most vital but remained unanswered.
“These questions need to be answered by the police and the investigating agencies and then automatically the case would get solved,” said George. Meanwhile, Rourkela SP Mitrabhanu Mohapatra speaking to media said, “We are looking into all the angles. I would like to assure you that we will definitely get to the root from all the angles. Anyone found guilty would not be spared and would be brought to book.”
