Are those all coincidences or the outcomes of an orchestrated design, a riddle is formed over the three consecutive deaths of Russians in Odisha.
Days after the two deaths of two Russian tourist in the Raygada district town, one more Russian has turned up dead near the famous Paradeep port on the coasts of Odisha on Tuesday, Jan 3. 2023.
Not a very good beginning for the tourist community as such news create a sad vibe for all.
The man who died on Tuesday, identified as Sergey Milyakov, a 50-year-old Russian was, as reported, part of the crew of the MV Aldanah, a shipping vessel transporting iron ore for a manufacturer.
Although the exact reason is yet to be ascertained but, reports said that, he suffered from a heart attack why on board.
Several theories are being propounded post the deaths of the three Russians. First Vladimir Bidenov, said to be a tourist, putting up in a hotel in Raygada, died on 22nd December 2022. Vladimir was 61.
Just two days after another Russian tourist Pavel Antov died after falling from the roof of the same hotel where Vladimir was lodged.
Milyakov, who is the third, died on the shipping vessel.
Odisha Police’s crime branch is currently enquiring into the incidents.
The serial deaths of three foreign nationals has left the state’s police scrambling for wits as so far, no satisfactory clues could be traced behind the mysterious deaths.
“At around 4 am, the captain of the ship sent a message to the port authorities about the death of a crew member. As per standard operating procedure, the port health officer visited the vessel and confirmed the death,” a port official was quoted as saying in the report.
At this juncture it will be difficult to say that, whether it will it be a case that finds honourable mention in the annals of Russian secret service assassination or fizzle out as an accidental occurrence?
As regards the Russian MP Pavel Antov, who, according to the autopsy report that the Mobilenews24x7 has the access to, had several fractured ribs, Antov suffered grievous internal injuries causing internal bleeding, rupture of his lungs, liver, and spleen.
All said and done, what could be the reason for a MP coming all the way to Odisha and jump to his death like that. Or for the others.
It may remind us about Shakespeare’s witches who would have cackled at the death of two Russians, a wealthy and elected politician and one of his team-mate, to visit a nondescript town like Raygada in the woods of Odisha!
Pavel Antov, 65, and Vladmir Bydanov, 61, died within 48 hours of each other under mysterious circumstances in Hotel Sai International. Difficult to comprehend and while rest two of the entourage including a lady were asked not to leave Rayagada or Odisha.
Going by reports Antov was not only one of the richest man in Russia along with his companions to get into a rundown hotel in Raygada why did he come and did that.
Antov was known for his anti-war stance against Vladimir Putin and could that be the reason behind plucking them from anywhere by the respective Russian secret agencies?
It, perhaps, does not look as any normal case of accidental or medical but there may be much hidden underneath.
