Family members of Lalit Narayan Mishra today complained "extraordinary" delay in judgement on killing of the former Railway minister.
Vijay Kumar Mishra, son and senior leader of JD(U), said the case has been delayed "extraordinarily".
He also questioned investigation by the CBI in the murder case in a bomb blast at a function at Samastipur Railway Station on January 2, 1975.
"Everybody knows how CBI works. The Supreme Court has aptly described CBI (caged parrot)...I doubt role of the four in the case," Mishra, former MLA from Jale in Darbhanga district told PTI.
Former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra also pointed to inordinate delay in judgement in the case.
"Today judgement has come nearly after 40 year. Now the accused will go to High Court and then to Supreme Court...I do not know how much time the entire process will take," Jagannath Mishra, younger brother of Lalit Narayan Mishra, told PTI.
Jagannath Mishra who says he himself was injured in the attack, said "its a challenge to the system that justice comes fast in the killing case of a freedom fighter."
Jagannath Mishra, whose son Nitish Mishra is a minister in Jitan Ram Manjhi government, said he was curious to know the motive behind killing of Lalit Narayan Mishra, who was dedicated to the nation and worked tirelessly for development of Bihar.
Rishi Mishra, grandson of Lalit Narayan Mishra, who is JD(U) MLA from Jale, says he feels its unfortunate that it took so many years for judgement to come in the murder case.
Nearly 40 years after the then Railway Minister Lalit Narayan Mishra was killed in a blast in Samastipur station, a Delhi court today convicted three Ananda Margas and an advocate for conspiring and murdering him and two others.
