Naba Das, the minister of health for the state of Odisha, was fired at on Sunday near Gandhi chhak in Brajarajnagar, Jharsuguda district, and suffered injuries as a result. When the incident happened, Naba Das was en route to a programme. According to sources, Naba Das was shot by unknown gunmen after getting out of his car. Uncertainty persists regarding the firing’s precise cause. After the event, Naba Das was taken right away to the hospital. Following the firing incident, BJD activists conducted a dharna, which raised tensions at the scene.Given that the minister was allegedly shot at close range, it is believed that the shooting was “pre-planned.”
Since Naba Das, who was supposed to attend a large-scale event, also had a police escort, the occurrence has called into severe doubt the effectiveness of security measures. According to the early accounts, four to five gunshots were heard immediately. According to sources, a police officer and another person who was standing close to the minister both suffered injuries. More clarification on this is still needed, though. One Assistant Sub-Inspector is engaged in the shooting of the health minister Naba Das, according to Brajarajnagar SDPO Gupteswar Bhoi.I am startled at the terrible incidence of the attack on minister Naba Das, the Odisha Chief Minister stated in a statement condemning the attack on the health minister. I vehemently reject the assault on him. I ask for God to speed up his healing. Patnaik added that the Crime branch has been instructed to start a probe into the incident. Senior members of the crime branch have been requested to visit the location. The health minister has a bullet wound to his chest and is unable to communicate, according to Jharsuguda CDMO. The minister’s situation is critical.
