Cuttack: In the latest development in the Mamita Meher murder case in Odisha, the deceased’s family has moved Orissa High Court seeking justice. Deceased Mamita Meher’s father has reportedly sought unbiased investigation of the case.
As per reports, the deceased’s family has filed a petition in Orissa High Court where they have sought unbiased investigation and justice. Further, reports say, the petitioners have prayed for investigation of the case in fast track Court.
It has also been learnt that Odisha State Governement, Police DG, Balangir SP and IIC of Sindhekela Police Station have been made opposite parties in the petition.
It is to be noted that the principal of Sunshine Public School in Mahaling village of Kalahandi district was asked by Govinda Sahu of the School Committee to reach Sunshine Public School for a meeting following she went missing. Mamita’s family members have alleged that Sahu was sexually harassing women employees of the school and forcing them to have physical relation with him.
Her family lodged a complaint with the police against Govinda. Later, Govinda and another person have been arrested in this connection.

The probe is going on with the help of the technical team. He also refuted the allegation that the matter reached Court late and claimed it to be baseless. The main accused persons of the case, Govinda Sahu and Radheshyam Chandi are in jail, he said.
