A tragic incident has shaken the town of Jajpur and its neighboring areas. Sushilmaya Singh Samanta, a hardworking young man, was brutally killed by his own family for the sole reason of marrying a girl from a different caste. Sushil, who was working in Bangalore as a security guard, had returned home a few months ago to marry Bijayalakshmi Sahu, the daughter of Nilamani Sahu from Duburi. Despite their love and the birth of their son, Sushil's family, who belong to the upper Kshatriya caste, did not approve of the marriage because Bijayalakshmi was from an other backward caste.
After their marriage, Sushil's family forced the couple out of their house, leaving them with no choice but to live in a rented house in Sukinda. According to Bijayalakshmi, Sushil's family had taken a large sum of money from him, which they never repaid. This caused frequent arguments between Sushil and his family. On the day of the incident, Sushil had gone to his family's house to ask for the money back as he needed it to return to his job in Bangalore. However, he never returned home and his body was found the next day floating in a well near his house.
The police registered a case of unnatural death and Sushil's body was sent for post-mortem. However, Bijayalakshmi believed that her husband was murdered and filed a complaint with the Sukinda police, accusing Sushil's parents, five sisters, and a maternal uncle of being involved in his death. The investigating officer, Madan Mohan Samal, assured that a thorough investigation is underway.
The incident has sparked outrage in the community and has shed light on the issue of honour killing. It is a sad reality that despite progress in society, some families still hold onto outdated beliefs and values, leading to such heinous acts. The loss of a young life is a tragedy that could have been avoided if love and acceptance prevailed over societal norms and caste barriers. Our hearts go out to Sushil's wife and young son, who have been left to deal with this devastating loss. May justice be served and may this serve as a wake-up call for society to embrace love and reject hate.
