Kendrapara Police Intensify Probe, Foul-Play Angle Not Yet Ruled Out
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|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 said she 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.
