The Patnagarh police on Sunday sent two teams to Raipur after the cops found that one “RK Sharma” had sent the parcel bomb as a gift that killed the newlywed youth Soumya Sekhar Sahu and his grandmother Jenamani and injured bride Rimarani Sahu severely at Patnagarh in Balangir district on February 23.
While the incident has shocked the entire State, the police teams have gone to Raipur’s Sky King courier office, from where the parcel weighing over 2 kg was reportedly sent.
Meanwhile, deceased Soumya Sekhar’s father Rabindra Sahu demanded that the Chief Minister order for a CBI probe to find out the culprits and punish them. He reportedly told police that no one named RK Sharma is known to his family.
He said this after a team of police officials interrogated the family members to ascertain if they had information about the sender.
Though it was still not clear whether the sender used his real identity or provided a fake name in sending the parcel, further investigation in this connection was on.
Both Soumya Sekhar and Jenamani died on Friday. Rimarani, who was admitted to the VIMSAR, Burla, in a critical condition, has, meanwhile, now been shifted to the SCB Medical College Hospital in Cuttack. She has sustained over 36 per cent burn injuries.
“After preliminary treatment, the patient has been admitted to the Plastic Surgery Department. A team of doctors will be engaged for her treatment, which will be free of cost” said SCB Hospital Emergency Officer Dr BN Moharana.
