Jharsuguda: Gopal Krushna Das, the prime accused in the high-profile Naba Kisore Das murder case, was brought back to Jharsuguda from Gujarat’s Gandhinagar on Sunday night following a series of Narco and polygraph tests. The accused cop will be produced in the JMFC Court here on Monday.
According to reports, Gopal Das was brought to Jharsuguda by road. The five-day remand of Gopal Das will end on Monday and the Crime Branch is likely to appeal for another period of remand of the accused.
Sources said that while Gopal refused to reveal the motive behind the crime during the Crime Branch interrogation here, he said a lot of things during the Narco test. However, the Crime Branch is yet to reveal the results of Das’ Nacro and polygraph tests.
The Narco test was conducted on the accused for about six to seven hours. It is learnt that during the test the Narco experts at the testing centre in Gandhinagar asked several questions to Gopal.
Crime Branch will hand over the Narco test report to the JMFC Court of Jharsuguda in a sealed envelope on Monday. The video recording of the test will also be handed over to the court.
It is worth mentioning here that ASI Gopal Das was deployed at Gandhi Chowk for traffic management as Health Minister Naba Das was scheduled to attend a programme nearby on January 29. After some time Naba Das arrived on the spot and when he was alighting from his car Gopal came near him and opened fire at the minister, which led to his death.
