Girl in ‘live-in relationship’ found dead in Bhubaneswar apartment outhouse; family alleges murder

Mystery shrouds the death of a girl, whose body was found hanging from the outhouse of an apartment in Bhubaneswar on Friday. The deceased is an MCA student and was allegedly staying with a youth in a live-in relationship. However, the family members of the deceased alleged that she had married the youth and she had been murdered.

The role of the youth has now come under scanner as he has allegedly been missing since the incident.

“The youth Priyaranjan was in a love relationship. In February, the youth along with two of his friends came to Damanjodi and abducted our daughter. We had lodged a police complaint. Yesterday, we got information about the incident, “said a family member.

Another family member said, “It is not a suicide case. Her body was hanged after killing her. Her mobile phone is not found in the house. We want justice and a detailed investigation into the matter.”

Following the incident, senior officials of Khandagiri police reached the spot and started an investigation into the matter.
