Man’s injury-ridden body found hanging from tree in Odisha
BHAWANIPATNA: Mystery shrouds the death of a 35-year-old man whose injury-ridden body was found hanging from a banyan tree near Bazaar Pada of Dashpur village under Golamunda block in Kalahandi district on Friday morning.
Police identified the deceased as Jhada Sahoo of Kurlubhata village in Nuapada district’s Khariar area. Jhada’s body bore multiple marks and was soaked in blood when it was spotted by locals. He had reportedly come to Dashpur on Thursday to meet his two daughters who were staying with his father-in-law.
Sources said Jhada had married Apuchi Sahoo of Colony Pada in Dashpur village. Due to marital discord, Apuchi left Jhada and came back to her father’s place with their two minor daughters. Subsequently, she married another man and went away to live separately after leaving her daughters with her father. Jhada used to occasionally visit his father-in-law’s place to meet his daughters.
