Not honor killing, Kandrapara College student dies of suicide: Odisha police
The Odisha police on Tuesday said the Odisha police said that the 19 -year -old woman college student, whose body was found in her house in Kendrapara district on August 6, died of suicide and was not a case of respected murder as was allegedly allegedly.
A day after the student’s body was cremated, on August 9, his ex-boyfriend’s family alleged that he was killed for honor, not due to self-harm.
Kendrapara SP Siddharth Kataria said that he resorted to self-explosion after blackmailing her ex-boyfriend, who was arrested.
Police said her ex -boyfriend Pramod Behera had allegedly threatened to make her intimate photos viral and also sent some pictures to her father, after which she set himself on fire.
Kataria said the postmortem examination report “clearly mentioned that the death was caused by a pre-of-water burning injuries. The victim suffered a 95 percent burning and died due to this”.
The SP said that there were no other external injuries, and the report also rejected the presence of poison.
He said that FMT doctors also visited the place to verify the leading circumstances for death. On August 6, the woman died between 8 am and 11 am when her parents left the house around 7.40 am. He said that he returned at 11.30 am and found it in a kingdom.
The SP said, “According to the deceased’s phone call detail record, we now have scientific proof and postmortem report. Further investigation will be done to find out how he bought inflammatory materials,” the SP said.
The victim’s father had alleged that he took a lot of steps after blackmail threats from his ex -boyfriend.
He also alleged that the police did not accept his FIR six months ago, for which the incident increased and finally ended with his daughter’s suicide. Following the father’s allegation, ASI of ASI of Pattamundai Police Station was transferred to Mohan Palei.
