Hundreds of women led by Kamakhyanagar Assembly segment BJP Kishan Morcha Pravari Er Debashisha Hota on Monday held a Jail Bharo agitation in front of the Bhuban police station here demanding proper investigation into ‘mysterious’ death of Mamata Pothal and her daughter Jyotsna at Godipatana in Dhenkanal district on September 7.
The agitators, who included parental family members of the deceased, demanded action against Bhuban hospital’s
doctor and fire officers while alleging that they suppressed the facts behind death of the two to protect the accused.
Before the Jail Bharo agitation, the women took out a rally from Nua Bhuban Shiba Mandir to the police station.
SDPO Suprasan Mallick came and talked to Hota and deceased Mamata’s father Gagan Chandra Bihara and showed them a post-mortem report of the SCB Medical College Hospital, Cuttack. However, agitating women were not satisfied with the report.
Earlier, Mamata’s father had lodged a complaint in the police station alleging that in-laws killed his daughter and granddaughter and cremated them without conducting an autopsy.
On September 14, Hota and others had met Dhenkanal SP Santosh Nayak and demanded an inquiry.
