Six Of Family Found Dead Inside House In Odisha’s Balangir

Balangir: Police on Wednesday recovered bodies of six members of a family inside a house at Sanrapada village under Patnagarh police limits in Odisha’s Balangir district.

The incident came to light after the neighbours found the door locked and, suspecting foul play, informed the police.

Confirming the death of the six family members, Patnagarh IIC Priyanka Routray said that the bodies will be sent for postmortem after an on-the-spot investigation by the scientific team.

The deceased have been identified as Bulu Jena, his wife, two sons and two daughters.

Stating that the family of Bulu Jani was collecting and selling honey in the village and nearby areas for the last 10 years, the IIC said that there was reportedly a quarrel among the family members last night.

“We are not sure whether the family members committed suicide or it is a case of murder. The exact cause of the death will be known after the postmortem,” she added.
