Odisha Court Issues Non-Bailable Warrants Against 6, Including Ex-MP, in Connection with 14-Year-Old Tribal Leader’s Murder

In a significant development in the long-unsolved case of a tribal leader’s murder, a court in Odisha’s Rayagada district has issued non-bailable warrants against six individuals, including N Bhaskar Rao, a former Rajya Sabha MP from the Biju Janata Dal (BJD). The court action pertains to the 14-year-old murder of Bhagirathi Mandangi, a respected tribal leader and member of the Maa Majhighariani Temple Trust, who was tragically killed on December 15, 2010.

The non-bailable warrants were issued by Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) Barsha Das, marking a significant step in the pursuit of justice for Mandangi’s family and the tribal community.

Bhagirathi Mandangi’s murder had remained a mystery for over a decade, but recent developments in the investigation have led authorities to take decisive action. The involvement of prominent individuals, including a former MP, has further amplified the public interest and scrutiny surrounding the case.

This development brings renewed hope to the family of the deceased, who have been seeking justice for many years. The legal proceedings are expected to intensify as the authorities prepare for the next steps in the investigation and prosecution of the accused.
