Bhubaneswar: <b>Congress Rajya Sabha member Radhakant Nayak is on run. If unconfirmed reports are to be believed, Nayak, alleged villain behind Swami Laxmananda Saraswatiâs murder</b>, is in trouble.
Crime Branch of Orissa Police looking into the brutal murder of noted Hindu saint has reportedly listed name of <b>Nayak as an accused, who is very close to Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi for his Church back-ground</b> and searching him in several areas for his role.
âIf fact, we have listed a dozen names including Congress Rajya Sabha Member Nayak in connection with the murder case and charge sheet in this regard, will be submitted very soon,â a top Crime Branch official revealed in condition of anonymity on Tuesday. 'Master-Mind' at the moment is out of State but we are trying very hard to locate him, he added.
It may be noted here since a very longtime, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and all its affiliated bodies have been alleging that Radhakant Nayak alone creating problem in Kandhamal and mastermind behind the murder of Swamiji.
Sources pointed out that police might lay it hand either on Radhakant Nayak or his men. <b>Nayak, a former bureaucrat, was considered the chief patron of Pana Christians and protector of the Church in the district.</b>
Nayak who served the Central government as Secretary was short-listed for the post of Union Cabinet Secretary during H. D. Deve Gowda government. <b>Being a Dalit-Christian socialist, leaders including Ramvilas Paswan and Sharad Yadav had backed his candidature then</b>.
However some adverse IB report against him came as a hurdle. In 2004 he was elected to Rajya Sabha on Congress ticket. Hindutava forces always suspected his hand behind the killing. Alleged involvement of Nayak would also help BJP to target Sonia Gandhi.
