A day after police uncovered the identity of a girl’s body which was recovered in a sack from the Dhartangagada forest under Raghunathpur block, the statement of her father that the girl died during her abortion conducted in a nursing home at Jagatsinghpur gave a twist to the case.
Basing on the deceased’s father Ajaya Sutar revelation, the police raided the nursing home at the district headquarters town here on Thursday night and sealed it, besides questioning the nursing home doctor and two female staffers.
Ajaya informed that his daughter had maintained affairs with a local youth and a few days ago it could find that she had gone pregnant. Consequently, the family had decided conducting her termination in the Mamata Nursing home at Jagatsinghpur. The deceased girl was brought to Jagatsinghpur four days ago, and the abortion was performed but she succumbed during her termination.
later, Ajaya said that they dumped the body in a sack in Mundala village near Dhartangagada forest area on February 13.
Meanwhile, a senior police officer led by Tirtol DSP Siva Charana Mallick accompanying a magistrate on Thursday night raided the alleged Mamata Nursing home. Nursing home owner Dr Haramani Moharana informedcops that no termination of the deceased girl had been performed and added that two weeks ago, the deceased girl’s father had opted conducting an abortion of his daughter but that had been declined. The police have launched a manhunt for the youth who had maintained affairs with the deceased girl.
