Youth From Jharkhand Found Dead At Quarantine Centre In Odisha

Bhadrak: A youth, undergoing quarantine at Randia High School in Bhdark district, was found dead under mysterious circumstances on Friday.

He has been identified as Gyana Ranjan Nayak, a native of Jharkhand.

According to sources, some villagers, who got food for Nayak this morning, found him lying still. When he did not respond to their calls, they informed police. He was found to be dead and the body was then sent for postmortem. Police have also launched a probe into his sudden demise.
