Woman Found Dead At In-Laws’ House In Kendrapara; Husband Detained After Murder Complaint

Aali, November 11: A woman was found dead under suspicious circumstances at her in-laws’ house in Manikapatana village under Aali police limits in Odisha’s Kendrapara district on Tuesday. Her family has alleged that she was murdered by her husband and in-laws over his alleged extramarital relationship.

The deceased, identified as Shubhashree, married Satyabrata Biswal of Manikapatana in 2016. According to a complaint filed by her father, Dhananjay Nayak of the Patamundai area, Satyabrata, who works in Hyderabad, was allegedly involved in a relationship with another woman.

The complainant alleged that his daughter was killed by her husband and in-laws and that they attempted to pass off the murder as suicide.

Dhananjay said Satyabrata called him on Tuesday morning, initially informing him that Shubhashree was unwell and later conveying that she had died.

When her family members reached Manikapatana, they found her body lying at the house with visible injury marks on her neck, raising suspicion of foul play.

Following the complaint, Aali police reached the village, recovered the body from the house and sent it to Aali Community Health Centre for post-mortem examination. The autopsy is scheduled to be conducted on Wednesday.

Police have detained the husband for questioning. Meanwhile, the in-laws have denied the allegations.

Further investigation is underway to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death.
