K'para Police Intensifies Probe, Foul-Play Angle Not Ruled Out
The New Indian Express Jeypore
|August 09, 2025
EVEN as the tragic death of the 20-year-old college girl continued to generate political heat, Kendrapara police on Friday maintained that it has not ruled out the angle of foul-play in the sensitive case.
Police pressed a forensic medicine and toxicology (FMT) doctors' team at the victim's house under Pattamundai rural police limits.
The victim's father had claimed that the girl had set herself ablaze due to a blackmail threat from her boyfriend.
Sources said though prima facie it appeared to be a case of suicide, a detailed spot verification and available circumstantial evidence did not completely rule out foul play. "The victim did not sustain serious burn injuries and a small quantity of the inflammable substance was found on the spot," sources added.
Police are also awaiting her autopsy report to ascertain whether her burn injuries were ante-mortem or post-mortem in nature.

Six Aces for Higher Education’s Swadeshi Six-pack
Prime Minister Modi’s patriotic appeal for Swadeshi Bharat for Viksit Bharat is a wake-up call for those dreaming elsewhere and living in Bharat. Modi’s “Garv Se Kaho Yeh Swadeshi Hai” is a proud roar of a tiger economy that is experiencing the second coming of its first leadership position in the global comity of nations. The re-imagination of India towards Viksit Bharat @ 2047 is a multidimensional policy prescription that cuts across all socioeconomic growth sectors like public infrastructure, defence, manufacturing, healthcare, education, Agriculture, etc. With active public and private participation in various economic spheres spurring growth, the push for alternate models of engagement with social sectors like education and healthcare cannot come at a time more appropriate than now. The National Education Policy (NEP 2020) is a steaming appetiser already served for a healthy main course that is yet to be served in full. The various reforms by way of regulations and guidelines initiated
