Skeleton Found After 7 Month Ends Missing Man Mystery In Odisha Ends; 2 Arrested
In a shocking incident, around seven months after a man went missing in Odisha, his skeletal remains were recovered in a village in Dhenkanal district.
The deceased was identified as Sanatan Behera a resident of Balipasi village under Parajang police limits. He was missing since September last year.
According to reports, Sanatan was electrocuted after coming in contact with a live wire. The live wire was reportedly set up by poachers for wild boar. To hide the crime, the poachers allegedly buried the body in the ground.
With having no trace of Sanatan, his wife Reena Behera lodged a missing complaint with the police.
The truth unfolded recently a few days ago when one of the accused persons asked Reena as to why she was searching for her husband, who had been killed and buried by them long before.
Following the confession, Reena again moved the police station and based on her complaint, police arrested two persons — Sanjay Dehury and Pilu Sethy — out of three in connection with the murder case.
Based on their statement and recreation of crime scene, police in presence of scientific team and district magistrate started excavating at the spot where the body was buried and exhumed the skeletal remains from the ground.
The family of the deceased person demanded stringent punishment for all accused persons.
Presently, the accused are under police custody and further investigation of the case is underway.
