A tragic incident took place in Balasore, Odisha, where a 44-year-old man, identified as Prashanta Jena, was found dead in a river on Tuesday. The man had been on the run after attacking his wife and two young sons with an axe in their home in Dahamunda village, located in the Kamarda police station area of the district.
According to a police officer, Prashanta had gotten into a heated argument with his wife, Dorani Jena, over some family dispute on Sunday night. In a fit of rage, he attacked her and their two sons, Kartik and Ganesh, before fleeing the scene. The injured family members were rushed to Kamarda community health centre by concerned villagers who had heard their cries. They were later transferred to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack for further treatment.
Following the incident, Prashanta's father-in-law filed a complaint with the Kamarda police station, prompting an investigation into the matter. The next day, Prashanta's lifeless body was discovered in Subarnarekha River near his village. The axe used in the attack was also found lying near him.
Sub-divisional Police Officer Manas Kumar Deo stated that initial findings suggest that Prashanta may have taken his own life. However, the post-mortem report is yet to be analyzed to confirm the cause of death.
This unfortunate turn of events has left the community in shock and disbelief. It is a reminder of the consequences of resorting to violence to resolve conflicts. The police are urging people to find peaceful solutions to their problems and seek help when needed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of Prashanta during this difficult time.
