Rourkela: Body of a 43-year-old woman was exhumed at Deogan village in Sundargarh district on Tuesday evening after her brother filed a murder complaint at Talsara police station.
Fulabasa Bada was found dead at her home on Feb 17. While her husband, Mitra Bada (47), works in Rourkela, their four children stay elsewhere for work and studies. Her niece found the body after repeated knocks on her door were not unanswered. The same evening, she was buried on her husband’s ancestral property.
The case took a turn when Ugrasen Majhi (45), the deceased’s brother from Simdega, filed an FIR at Talsara police station on Tuesday, alleging his sister was murdered. Acting on the complaint, police officers, accompanied by a forensic team, exhumed the body in the presence of the Sabdega tehsildar.
“We have registered a murder case and are investigating the matter. The post-mortem was conducted on Wednesday, and we are awaiting the report,” said Suprava Behera, sub-inspector, Talsara police station.
The body was taken to Sundargarh district headquarters hospital for post-mortem and was later handed over to the family.
