Odisha Ex-MLA Narayan Reddy sentenced to life imprisonment in police RI death case
Berhampur: Former Chhatrapur MLA Narayan Reddy was sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with murder of a reserve inspector in 1998.
The Berhampur ADJ-3 Court today awarded life imprisonment to total 13 persons including communist leader Narayan Reddy in connection with death case of Police Reserve Inspector Binay Meher.
The former lawmaker expressed dissatisfaction over the court’s verdict and stated that he would move a higher judicial forum against the sentence.
“The judgement was completely biased. It was influenced by the government. The justice was not done to farmers and public. We are disappointed. I will go to the higher court to get justice,” said Narayan Reddy after walking out of the court.
Reports say, a clash between police and mass public turned violent at a meeting at Sindhi village over land acquisition by reputed company for a project in which the police RI Binay Meher was killed in the incident.
