Humane Sagar Death: Community outrage peaks as demand grows for arrest of 2 managers

Community members and various organisations across Odisha have intensified their demands for the arrest of singer Humane Sagar’s two managers, alleging that Dinesh Behera and Prashant Behera played a direct role in the singer’s death. Humane Sagar, 36, died on November 17 at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, prompting widespread suspicion and calls for an urgent, transparent investigation into how he died and who may be responsible.

Community and Organisations Demand Action

Groups across Bolangir and beyond have united in protest, accusing the managers of negligence, conspiracy and failure in their responsibilities towards the popular Ollywood singer. Emotions ran high as protestors insisted that both managers be apprehended immediately.

The anger was visibly reflected on the faces of community members, many of whom claimed that the circumstances surrounding Humane’s death appeared increasingly suspicious. Several organisations have approached the police alleging that the singer may have been killed as part of a larger conspiracy, and demanded a thorough investigation.

Meanwhile, an FIR had been registered against two of his managers at the Town Police Station in Bolangir on Friday.

Allegations of Mishandling and Misbehaviour

Social organisations have also raised concerns over alleged misbehaviour towards Humane Sagar’s mother, asserting that such conduct deepens doubts about the managers’ intentions. According to protestors, the disrespect she faced further fuelled their belief that something 'deeply wrong' had occurred prior to the singer’s death.

Voices From the Organisations

“We feel Humane’s death is a mystery, and there’s a major conspiracy behind it. If we consider his mother’s statements, suspicion strongly points towards the two managers. That is why we filed a written FIR against Dinesh and Prashant Behera. We want an immediate investigation,” said a member of the organisation that lodged the complaint.

Another member added:

“Whenever Humane had a programme, the managers handled payments date-wise. On the day he was admitted to hospital, he also had a show. They could have cancelled it and said he was unwell. But they pushed him for money, and when it was time to save him, they backed out. They are solely responsible. We want Odisha Police to arrest both of them immediately.”

Statewide Warning: Odisha Bandh Threatened

Several organisations have warned that if a thorough and unbiased investigation is not initiated soon, they will call for an Odisha bandh, further escalating pressure on the authorities.

A Voice Lost Too Soon

Humane Sagar, whose voice once filled every Odia household with emotion, passed away after a gruelling 72-hour battle on advanced life-support systems at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. His sudden and tragic death continues to send shockwaves across Odisha’s cultural community.

As allegations multiply and public anger mounts, the demand for justice grows louder. With multiple organisations pressing for accountability and the police beginning deeper inquiries, the coming days will be crucial in uncovering the truth behind the untimely demise of one of Odisha’s most beloved singers. All eyes now remain fixed on the investigative authorities to bring clarity and closure to a grieving state.
