Marathon kid Budhia’s ex-coach Biranchi Das's murder case sounds like a script of a typical Bollywood potboiler. Movie makers, a movie star, a sports coach, a gangster - all involved in ways that's giving the state police sleepless nights.
But who killed him and why? Initial inquiries point towards the Oriya music industry. The police believe gangster Raja Acharya shot Biranchi on Sunday evening.
The reason: Leslie Tripathi, a popular face in Oriya music albums. Raja had proposed to Leslie but she turned him down. Spurned, Raja began harassing the actress and this led to an altercation between the coach and the gangster.
However, Leslie says she never approached Biranchi for help. He was just another “concerned acquaintance.”
“I remember after I lodged an FIR against Raja, I just got a sympathy phone call from him. That’s all that happened,” she says.
The police also do not rule out another motive. Biranchi was about to expose Raja's mafia links. They are now determined to nail Raja.
"There are at least 35 cases pending against Raja Acharya, due to lack of witnesses he gets free from the jail and commits further crime. But we would not sit idle,” says Bhubaneswar.
Police Commissioner, Binoy Behera.
Meanwhile the state Opposition is blaming Orissa's crumbling law and order.
Leader of Opposition, J B Patnaik says, "The law and order situation has totally failed. The police knowas very well who these criminals are but did not do anything to stop them."
Biranchi's star student Budhia is shattered .
“The coach always wanted to see me on the top. He made me run a lot, so I could make it to the Limca record books. I really feel sorry for his demise. I have no clue about who has shot him. He wanted me to get to the Olympics,” he says.
In last few years, reports of a nexus between the glamour world of the Oriya music album industry and the criminals have been doing the rounds.
But police have not yet made any arrests.
