Bishal Das, son of the late Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader and former Odisha Health Minister Naba Das, has been detained by the Chhattisgarh police. The detention took place at the Saraipali police station in Chhattisgarh.
Bishal Das, who is also a Samiti Sabhya and Sarpanch of Kirmira Block in Jharsuguda district, was detained along with several other local leaders, including some Sarpanchs and Samiti members. The exact reasons for their detention have not been disclosed by the police.
In a video message, Bishal Das confirmed his detention and expressed concerns about the situation. The detention comes just a day before a scheduled no-confidence motion against the Chairman of Kirmira Panchayat Samiti, Krishnapriya Sahu, was set to be voted on.
The incident has sparked significant attention and raised questions about the timing and motives behind the police action. Supporters of Bishal Das and other detained leaders have called for their immediate release and transparency regarding the reasons for their detention.
