Mysterious Death Of Meher Family: Lens On Stepson Found Hanging In Odisha’s Bargarh

Bhubaneswar: Police have seized a hammer-like object from the house at Jandol village in Odisha’s Bargarh district where four members of a family were found dead.

Bodies of Sesadev Meher (65), his 60-year-old wife Khireswari, son Arabinda (30) and daughter Sibani (22) were found locked in their house on Sunday night. While police have registered a murder case and begun an investigation, the needle of suspicion is pointing at Arabinda. It is being suspected that he might have committed the murders before hanging himself.

“Bodies of Sesadev and Arabinda were recovered from the ground floor while Khireswari and Sibani were found dead in a room on the first floor. All the bodies were lying on the floor except Arabinda who was found hanging in a room,” Bargarh SP Smit P Parmar had said.

Blood marks were found at several places in the house.
