Balasore: Two brothers entered into a fierce quarrel over the death of their mother at a village in Soro area of Odisha’s Balasore district.
Trouble erupted after one of the siblings alleged that the 90-year-old woman, identified as Malati Barik, had been murdered. Holding his younger brother responsible for her death, he lodged a complaint with the police and demanded a probe.
According to sources, the incident took place at Simulia under Balang Panchayat in Soro area of the district. As a result, the last rites could not be performed even 30 hours after the woman’s death.

After learning about the death of their mother, Nandakishor alleged that the woman had been murdered and lodged a complaint against Gobinda at Soro police station.
Acting on his complaint, the police seized the body for postmortem. However, following the dispute between the brothers, autopsy could not be conducted for more than 30 hours and the body is still lying in the hospital. The police have launched an investigation into the incident.
