Case Registered Over Missing Inquiry Reports from Odisha Chief Minister's OfficePreviousNext

A case was registered in Bhubaneswar over the disappearance of two key inquiry reports from the Odisha Chief Minister's Office during the previous BJD government. The missing reports include the Justice AS Naidu Commission report on the 2008 killing of Hindu seer Laxmananda Saraswati and the Revenue Divisional Commissioner's inquiry into the 2016 SUM Hospital fire. The FIR, filed by a home department official, alleges possible intentional removal or concealment of these reports, while other files from the same period were returned.
