Talking to the media, brother of the deceased, Nakula Sahu, said he suffered from no illness. “I suspect that he might have sustained serious internal injuries due to severe thrashing by the police,” he added.

Stating that the deceased was received brought dead, Dr Sanatan Meher of the Dunguripalli CHC said the exact reason of the death will be known only after they receive the postmortem report.

We have handed over the body to the family members after the postmortem at the CHC in Binika this morning,” the SP added.
