The Town police on Friday arrested Chandipur Defence unit employee Supriya Dash (50) in connection with the mysterious death of a 14-year-old girl, who was working as a domestic help in the former’s house near ITI Square.
The girl was found hanging from a ceiling fan of Supriya’s house on April 29. The victim was a daughter of a rickshaw puller and she was engaged in Supriya’s house.
The rickshaw pullers’ association had on Wednesday gheraoed the Town police station protesting the police inaction in the case. Though the police arrested Supriya for abetment in the incident yet their action raised eyebrows.
It is alleged that Supriya’s husband Prahallad Dash was the prime accused, who had murdered the girl after raping her. The police started investigation after registering a case for murder and conducted a polygraph test of Supriya.
