A team of Congress leaders handed over a memorandum to the Governor through the ADM.
Attending the dharna, president of the State Youth Congress Sangram Keshari Jena alleged that Maharathy is the main villain of the Pipili gang-rape case. The Youth Congress is demanding Maharathy’s arrest for giving protection to his followers in his farm house, he added. On the other hand, he said negligence of the police and the conspiracy of the minister to suppress the facts is not a matter of secrecy, the people know about the original face of the minister.
