Puri: The mortal remains of deceased Odia jawan Pratap Ranjan Parida will be consigned to flames at his Malla village under Gop block in Puri district on Monday.
The jawan will be accorded a full state honour during cremation at his native place. After his body arrived in a special aircraft in Bhubaneswar, it was taken to his ancestral village for the last rites.
Parida’s elder brother is working with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) while his younger brother had died in a road mishap two years ago. He is survived by a son and a daughter.
The family members of Parida were informed about his death by the BSF officials. They were told that Parida was proceeding towards a ghat from Tura camp when he fell into a roadside ditch and died.
While the reason for Parida’s death is still a mystery, a pall of gloom descended on the village as the news broke.
His family members, including wife Satyabhama Parida, alleged that Parida was murdered. They demanded a CBI probe to unravel the truth and bring the culprits to book.
