Former village head's death in Angul surrounded by mystery.

The small village of Jereng Dehuri Sahi in Angul district was rocked by a shocking incident on Tuesday morning. The body of Bibhuti Gadnaik, a prominent Biju Janata Dal leader and former sarpanch, was discovered lying near the basil plant on the ground floor of his home. It was a gruesome sight, and the circumstances surrounding his death were mysterious and unclear.

According to reports, Bibhuti had gone to bed on the rooftop of his house after having dinner on Monday night. However, the next morning, his mutilated body was found by the Jarpada police during their routine patrol. His family was devastated by the news and claimed that he had been murdered due to political enmity. His son Bikash Ranjan Gadnaik immediately filed a complaint with the Jarpada police station, and the case was soon taken up by Jarpada IIC Nirmala Gochhayat and SDPO Ramakant Mahallik.

A scientific team was also called in to investigate, but the DIG Uma Shankar Das, who is also the SP in-charge of Angul, denied any foul play in the incident during a press conference held on Tuesday. He stated that the preliminary inquiry did not point towards murder and that the police had registered a case of unnatural death. However, the investigation would continue, and the cause of Bibhuti's death could only be determined after the post-mortem report was made available.

The police also took into consideration the allegations made by Bibhuti's family and intensified their probe into the matter. The DIG also mentioned that the family had reported receiving threats, and as a precaution, the police had increased patrolling in the area. A team of officers was also on high alert after a female member of the family requested for security following an incident where miscreants had thrown stones at Bibhuti's camp house just two days prior. The issue had been resolved at the Jarpada police station on Monday, and Bibhuti had returned home to have dinner before retiring to the rooftop for the night.

However, the next morning, his family was met with a gruesome and heartbreaking sight. Bibhuti's lifeless body was found near the basil plant in his residence, severely bruised and battered. The police have assured the family that they are doing everything in their power to uncover the truth behind this tragic incident. Until then, the small village of Jereng Dehuri Sahi remains in shock and mourning over the sudden and mysterious death of their beloved leader.
