In Bhubaneswar, a local court made a decision on Wednesday regarding a tragic incident that occurred in 2017. The man responsible, Dambarudhar Das, was found guilty of killing a woman in Nayapalli under the city's police limits. The court, presided by Additional Sessions Judge Sasmita Parhi, sentenced him to life imprisonment. Additionally, he was ordered to pay a penalty of Rs 20,000. Failure to do so would result in one year of rigorous imprisonment, as stated by the Additional Public Prosecutor, Pradipta Kumar Mishra.
The case revolved around Dambarudhar's one-sided love for Puspanjali Mohapatra, who resided in Tarini slum under Nayapalli police limits. According to the prosecution, Dambarudhar had repeatedly asked Puspanjali, a mother of two, to elope with him and start a new life. However, she continuously refused his advances. Tragically, on July 7, 2017, Dambarudhar's obsession took a horrific turn.
On that fateful day, Dambarudhar forcefully entered Puspanjali's house and found her in the washroom. Her children were playing nearby. He then sent the kids to the courtyard and proceeded to pour petrol on Puspanjali before setting her on fire. In a desperate attempt to save herself, Puspanjali was rushed to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack. However, she succumbed to her burns five days later, as reported by Mishra. Dambarudhar managed to escape the scene.
The court's verdict has brought some relief to the victim's family and friends, who have been mourning her tragic death for the past few years. It serves as a reminder that such heinous crimes will not be tolerated and justice will be served. May Puspanjali's soul rest in peace.
