RANCHI: Ruckus erupted at the

headquarters at Harmu on Thursday during the induction of former JMM leader Shashi Bhushan Mehta into the saffron party.

Mehta is an accused in the

and is currently out on bail. As BJP prepared for Mehta's induction, Mishra's family members stormed the dais, shouted slogans against him and got into a scuffle with his supporters.

Mehta was the director of Oxford Public School at Pragati Path, Ranchi, while Mishra worked there as the warden. Her battered body was found by a roadside near Gandhi Ashram in Dhurwa in May 2012. Mehta was arrested for his alleged involvement in the murder the same month.

On Thursday afternoon, before Mehta's induction into BJP, Mishra's sons, their maternal aunt Lalita and a few of their relatives reached the the party headquarters with placards demanding justice. They also submitted a memorandum against Mehta's induction to senior BJP leaders.

Mishra's eldest son, Abhishek said, "We want justice. BJP is the ruling party in the state and at the Centre. We urge the party leaders to refrain from inducting a tainted leader who is accused of my mother's murder. That too at a juncture when the final judgment in the case is scheduled to take place soon." Interestingly, Abhishek is also a member of BJP.
