Cuttack: A day after a woman employee of State Bank of India (SBI) and her 7-month-old daughter were found dead in their house in the city, the Commissionerate Police on Saturday claimed to have solved the case.
Speaking to mediapersons, Additional DCP Trinath Mishra said the SBI employee, Banasmita Ojha was under mental stress due to the health condition of her younger daughter.
“The child had undergone surgery for brain tumor recently. But it did not lead to any improvement in her condition for which her mother was under mental stress,” said Mishra.
