Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik is scheduled to attend the Shraddhanjali Sabha of his former cabinet colleague and Health Minister Naba Das in Odisha’s Jharsuguda on Thursday.
He will also meet his family members at their Jharsuguda home, sources said.
Naba had succumbed to a bullet injury after being shot at by an assistant sub-inspector of police at Brajarajnagar on January 29. His last rites were conducted with full state honours at his native place the following day. His son recently flew to Prayagraj to immerse his ashes in the Ganga.
The Crime Branch is probing the alleged murder of the three-time MLA and influential leader from western Odisha.
