BHUBANESWAR: Alok Bhol, brother
of deceased Anjali Rout (38) who was allegedly murdered by the family members
inside her in-law’s house in Arbindanagar area under Chandrasekharpur police
limits in city on November 19, demanded Crime Branch inquiry into the case at a
Pressmeet here on Tuesday.
According to Bhol, his elder
sister Anjali got married to Nalinikanta Rout (44), a typist in GED, in the
year of 2000. He said that his sister’s in-laws had been torturing her since
her marriage and that became violent when she didn’t agree to sell the house
where they were living in.
Bhol alleged that son-in-law of the Rout family had brought mediator to
discuss about the selling of the house, but Anjali protested. The family
members of Nalinikanta killed her by strangulating her sister to death with the
help of a rope, he stated.
“She rang me up three days ago
before her death and described about the unbearable physical and mental torture
meted out to her by her in-laws. Since she had an 11-year-old girl, I had
appealed her not to take any extreme step and wait till my arrival. But before
it was to happen, her in-laws killed my sister and gave it a shape of suicide,”
alleged the deceased’s brother.
Bhol said that he had lodged a
complaint at the Mahila police station after the death, even he requested the
local police officials not to leave the family members from their home, but his
request could not work out. Family members escaped from the house and Mahila
police didn’t take interest in the case instead of helping the involved persons,
he alleged.
