Dhenkanal: Three members of a family were reportedly found hanging inside a house at Chaulia Khamar village in Odisha’s Dhenkanal district on Saturday.
The house was reportedly locked for the last three days. The deceased have been identified as Shankarshan Das, his 40-year-old daughter Subarna and 16-year-old grandson Santosh.
The tragic incident came to light when Shankarshan’s wife Puspanjali, who had been away, saw the scene after her return. The three were found hanging inside the house. The closure of the house for three days has also raised suspicion surrounding the mysterious deaths.
After getting information about the incident, a team from Dhenkanal Sadar police station visited the spot and launched an investigation. The bodies have been recovered and sent for post-mortem to ascertain the exact cause of death.
Police are also questioning Puspanjali about the matter. Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward to aid the ongoing investigation.
As per sources, Shankarshan was a retired Railway employee. He was residing at his house in the village following his retirement. Subarna and Santosh were staying with him.
