Sweta’s boyfriend Soumyajeet Mohapatra was questioned inside the Chandrasekharpur police station on Tuesday in connection with her ‘death by suicide’. DCP (Bhubaneswar) Prateek Singh reached the Chandrasekharpur police station on Wednesday for further investigation.
Police have registered a case against Soumyajeet under IPC Section 306 (offence of abetment to suicide) on the basis of the complaint lodged by Sweta’s father.
