In a heated political reaction, Odisha's opposition BJD has raised concerns over the unexplained leave of the IG officer leading the probe into a student's tragic self-immolation at Fakir Mohan College.
This development came shortly after the arrest of two Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) leaders, fueling speculation of underlying political influences.
The case has been handed over to SP Anirudha Routray in the absentia of IG S Shyni, prompting allegations that the replacement is politically motivated due to the involvement of ABVP members and potential BJP links.
