After meeting the family members, OSCW Chairperson Namita Behera said, ‘We met the family members. It is very sad to listen all the things from members of family. Commission is keeping an eye on the case. We shall see that, the accused shall get severe punishment’
As Mamita was the only earning member of the family, Mamita’s father asked Behera to provide a job to his son. Also, he demanded death penalty for the accused persons.
