It is suspected that since Pradhan had a partial loss of memory due to the old age, he might have slipped while trying to get down at Kainfulia railway station and sustained a deep wound on his head, leading to his death.
Mallick was elected from Athmallik Assembly constituency as a candidate of Utkal Congress in 1971.
