Conviction in swamijis murder case an eye wash
          Dr. Laxmikant Dash
BBSR – 03.10.2013 – Dr Laxmikant Dash, Secretary  Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati Shradhanjali Samiti, hailed  the life imprisonment and penalty of 8 convicts  in the murder case of Swami Laxmanananda and his four associates but blames the government for its failure  to nab the conspirators and killers of Swamiji after 5 years.
          Sri Arun Ray, then I.G. Crime Branch in his Press conference on 6th October, 2008 has stated that one group has conspired and engaged another group for killing of Swami Laxmanananda. Though a few of the murders has been nabbed and convicted the main culprits like Sabyasachi Panda and Main Conspirators of church groups are still at-large, as the Govt. seems not interested for it. All though Hon’able Odisha High Court has directed the investigating agency to take a lead on the evidences supplied by the informant, no steps has been taken in that direction, which clearly indicates the Govt. pressure to protect the culprits. The investigating officer has been rewarded with promotion and police medal for safe-guarding the culprits, which is a public discussion in Khandhamal. It is an eye wash of the government in convicting some culprits hurriedly, when the main accused are not yet booked.
