Bhubaneswar, Sept 8: With the mystery over the deaths of Ananga Manjari Patra, the palace manager of Parala Royal Gopinath Gajapati Narayan Deb, and three of her siblings, still to be solved, Paralakhemundi MLA K Suriya Rao was assured interim protection by the Orissa High Court on Wednesday. The court said that he cannot be arrested before October 5, the next hearing date of the court.
Notably, the MLA had filed an anticipatory bail plea at the court on August 29 as the police had booked MLA Rao, based on the complaint filed by Amulya Patra, the elder brother of the deceased Ananga Manjari, on charges of abetment to suicide of the Parala Palace staffers and their siblings.
