What Palamu SP Indrajeet Mahatha said on Thursday after the recovery of the body of journalist-cum- trainer in CHC Bishrampur Rameshwar Keshri the previous day that there was the presence of a woman behind the death of Keshri gets further corroborated by the written statement of the wife of the deceased, Sangeeta Devi, that her husband had a 5-6 years old love affair with a co-worker in the community health centre of Bishrampur and this co-worker and her people got her husband murdered.
SP Mahatha has forwarded a copy of the written statement of Sangeeta Devi to Whatapp group wherein the wife Keshri has stated in writing that this co worker is Mamta Devi and her husband Santosh, his father lallu Prasad and mother lemi Devi and one Mahender Prajapati have got her husband murdered and then his body was kept in hanging to make out this case as of atma hatiya ( suicide).
About Mahender Prajapati SP Palamu said this accused is a journalist also and writes for a daily and works in the same Bishrampur CHC where the deceased had worked. SP further said the deceased was mainly a trainer in community health centre and this case be seen as a pure crime sprung between a trainer and the health worker there and not too far. SP reiterated Keshri was a CHC trainer and this episode revolved round CHC, trainer and his woman co worker.
Sangeeta Devi has in her written statement stated that she was married to Keshri in 2001 and has 3 children from him but over the last 5 – 6 years her husband was in love with this Mamta Devi which many knew this in the village and there was held a panchayati also an year ago in which she alleged Mamta Devi and her people had threatened her also.
The recovery of a hanky from the body of the journalist with M written on it proves the contention of the wife Sangeeta Devi. The wife has stated in her petition her husband used to give her not much for her maintenance and their children! At 3.45 pm on May 16 she came to know of this tragedy but as Sangeeta Devi herself stated in her written petition addressed to the OC Bishrampur police station she got rushed her family members to the centre where her husband was found hanging and she remained in house in utter shock and trauma!
She has urged OC Bishrampu to take action on her points as she wrote in her petition that she has a firm belief that Mamta Devi, her husband Santosh his father lallu, mother lemi Devi and one Mahender Prajapati have together murdered her husband. Prajapati was an acquaintance of her husband with whom her husband had a strained relation over a year on issue that she does not know she stated in her petition. Bishrampur police have registered this FIR u.s 302 and 120 (b) against the 5 named accused as given by Sangita Devi in her petition. Meanwhile SP Palamu has set up a 6 member team of police officials led by DSP Surjit Kumar to crack this case. The other police officers apart from Surjit Kumar are B Tripathy (probationer DSP) D N Rajak ( inspector Pandu circle) Nutan Modi ( OC Rehla police station) Dullar Chourey ( OC Mahila thana) and Arvind Singh ( OC Nawa Bazar police station).
