Doctor's decomposed body recovered from rented house in Cuttack

Police on Sunday recovered the decomposed body of a doctor from a house where he was staying on rent in the Chauliaganj area of Cuttack. The deceased has been identified as M. Venkat Chandrasekhar.

As per reports, Chandrasekhar was posted at Salepur and staying at a rented accommodation in Cuttack.

House owner, Haripasad Mohanty said, "The doctor was staying here and he had met with an accident recently.  He was traveling to the hospital with the help of others. He was staying outside mostly."

According to Mohanty, a foul smell was emanating from the house yesterday, and knocked the door under suspicion.

"As the doctor did not open the door, we tried to reach him over the phone. But failed to connect. Later, we informed the police. We suspect that he might have died due to cardiac arrest," he added.

Though the exact reason behind the doctor's death is unclear, police have started an investigation into the incident.
