He was attacked by a sharp weapon as a result he received severe injuries on his face and head thereby causing him profuse bleeding.

Meanwhile, family members of the deceased have pointed fingers at the family of a woman with whom Purna had an affair. The romantic relationship did not come to a end even after the woman’s marriage with another man.
“They had come to our house in his absence and had warned me. As I was unaware of the issue I had said them that I would dissuade my son from doing anything wrong. But they murdered my son. It’s Babuli who is behind my son’s death,” Purna Chandra’s mother Raj Lakshmi Mohanty said.
