Bhubaneswar: A special messenger handed over Salepur JMFC court’s summons, pertaining to Mahanga double murder case, to BJD MLA and former minister Pratap Jena at his official residence in Bhubaneswar on Saturday.
A few days after taking cognisance of offences against the former law minister as an accused in the murder case, the court on October 6 summoned him to appear before it on October 31.
“After going through the statements of the complainant, witnesses, and other available materials on record, we found that a prima facie case punishable for the offences under Section 302, 506, 120 B of the Indian Penal Code is made against the accused namely Pratap Kumar Jena,” the court had said in its September 25 order.
