The mysterious death of a woman caretaker at a home for People with Disabilities (PWDs) triggered tension here on Tuesday.
The family of the deceased and activists of an NGO kept her dead body before the district Collectorate and demanded action against the shelter home’s owner.
Sources said the deceased Pradhan used to work at the BC Jena Memorial Seva Kendra. Her family members alleged the home’s owner Bibhuti Bhusan Jena had promised her a good pay and promotion. But they alleged that Jena was physically exploiting her. When she did not come to work there, he even went to her home to inquire.
later on the district Collector’s instructions, the SDPO and the Tehsidar met the protestors and assured them of action if the accused is found guilty.
They also gave Rs 2,000 under the Harischandra Yojana and Rs 10,000 from the Red Cross Fund to the family of Nalini. The owner of the Kendra is presently absconding.
