TNI Bureau: As the issue of Governor Raghubar Das’ son Lalit Kumar assaulting an Assistant Section Officer has been intensified, the Biju Janata Dal has sought justice for the victim.
While speaking to mediapersons, BJD leader Pratap Deb said that as Home & General Administration departments are under the Odisha CM, he should ensure justice. Despite FIR, no action has been taken by police, he added.
