Chagala's Musings: Raja Acharya killed Biranchi Das

After his dramatic "surrender" at the ETV studio in Bhopal, Chagala, one of the suspects in Biranchi Das murder case, had accused some top people as the murderers and had given a clean chit to his boss Raja Acharya. However, once back in Bhubaneswar, he changed tune and admitted before the police that Raja Acharya killed Biranchi Das in front of the Judo Hall in Bhubaneswar and he was present at the spot during that incident, though he claimed that he did not fire the shots.

Chagala's statements came on the expected lines, as the police always believed that they would extract the truth from him during interrogation. He will be subjected to further interrogation over the next few days. A Narco Analysis is likely to be conducted on Chagala to retrieve more valuable information from him.

Now the police have little doubt that Raja Acharya killed Biranchi on that fateful day. However, they are yet to arrest the culprit who has been on the run for more than 11 days. Meanwhile, the new Bhubaneswar DCP Himanshu Lal stepped up the efforts to resolve all mysteries surrounding the Biranchi Das murder case and the illegal scrap deal in which many top politicians, RPF officials, policemen and businessmen are said to be involved.
