Bureau,Odishabarta

Bhubaneswar: Commissionerate Police (CP) on Friday claimed to have cracked Subhashree Mohapatra death case by arresting her boyfriend Chittaranjan Jena. Police said it was a case of suicide and not murder. Police had earlier detained Chittaranjan in connection with the case.

“Chhittaranjan was responsible for Subhashree’s death. He had developed a relationship with Subhashree in 2019. Chittaranjan had visited Subhashree’s house several times in her husband’s absence,” Bhubaneswar Deputy Commissioner of Police Prateek Singh said in a press meet here.
Subhashree had visited Capital Hospital with a person on August 29. This had infuriated Chittaranjan and he had a heated argument with Subhashree, the DCP said.

“Subhashree had committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan in her house after getting depressed over the issue. She had called Chittaranjan several times over phone before taking the extreme step. Chhittaranjan had removed Subhashree’s body from the fan before fleeing the spot. He has been arrested under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) of the IPC,” the DCP said.

Chittaranjan had also thrown the scarf worn by Subhashree in a drain near Barunei bypass. Police took Chittaranjan to the spot to recover the scarf.
