Bhubaneswar: The mobile phone, pen drive and laptop of slain schoolteacher Mamita Meher are suspected to hold the key to the reasons of her murder. The police have filed the electronic gadgets as evidence along with the chargesheet in the court.
According to IG of police (northern range) Deepak Kumar, Sindhekela police has field the 2,000-page chargesheet in Bangamunda JMFC court and he was satisfied with it.
The chargesheet has been filed against prime accused in the case Govind Sahu and his driver Radhe under Sections 302, 201, 120 (B) of the CrPC on the basis of scientific and forensic reports, he said.
But he remained tight-lipped on the details of the chargesheet on the ground that the hearing of the case was pending in the court.
According to reliable sources, the pen drive and mobile phone of the schoolteacher contain crucial evidence of sex video of some highly influential persons of the state.
Mamita served as a teacher in Sunshine English Medium School at Mahaling in Kalahandi where Govind was the member of the executive board. She had reportedly told her friends that she would expose Govind’s misdeeds.
It has given rise to the speculation that Govind was aware of the fact that Mamita had in possession of the video of the sex racket run by him in the school and a college at Mahaling. In order to get the pen drive and mobile phone of Mamita, he allegedly murdered her.
But the IG did not reveal to the media about the contents of the pen drive, laptop and mobile phone mentioned in the chargesheet.
Meanwhile, the forensic report filed in the chargesheet has confirmed that out of 8 strands of hair found in Govind’s car, the DNA of two strands matched with the prime accused. Mamita was allegedly strangulated to death by Govind in his car.
The rest six strands of hair belonged to a female but those did not match with the DNA of Mamita, TOI quoted the chargesheet as stating. The state forensic science laboratory had conducted the test.
