As per reports, the team reached the Plastic Surgery Department of the hospital and interrogated key eyewitness Jyotiprakash Biswal, who is currently undergoing treatment in the Burn ICU.
The officials reportedly questioned Jyotiprakash in detail regarding the sequence of events that led to the tragic incident, including how the victim’s body caught fire. The Crime Branch aimed to gather firsthand information to piece together the exact details of the incident.
