The Patnagarh police have detained two suspects in connection with the gift parcel explosion which killed software engineer Soumyasekhar Sahu and his grandmother Jenamani and critically injured his newly-married wife Rimarani at Patnagarh in Balangir district recently.
The two suspects, who have been detained and questioned by police, are natives of Boudh district, where Rimarani belongs. The duo was detained after the police during investigations suspected a love angle behind the incident.
However, Balangir SP K Subramanium said police are investigating into all the angles as per the proof available and are confident that they would solve the case soon.
Meanwhile, police have recorded the statement of Rimarani at the SCB Medical College Hospital in Cuttack in the presence of a Magistrate. Two police teams which had gone to Raipur, from where the deadly consignment was sent by courier agency Sky King, and Bengaluru, where Soumyasekhar worked in a software firm, have returned after conducting investigations. In a related development, Patnagarh BJP MlA KV Singh Deo has reiterated his demand for a probe by the National Investigative Agency or the CBI into the case.
