After informing the police, a platoon of police force including IIC Sangeeta Mohapatra, Fandi officer, Additional Tahsildar reached the spot and investigated the matter. Police force has been deployed in front of the house. There is a lot of talk about whether it is murder or suicide as the door is closed from the back of the house. Thousands of people have been gathering in the village for the last four days on the occasion of Kali Puja. So the neighbours didn’t say anything as the door was closed.
