Kumudini dies in asphyxiation: Autopsy report



PURI: The postmortem report of the half burnt body of Kumudini Swain which was recovered on January 4 near a canal at Samarai Sasan village under Balanga police limits in Puri came on Tuesday. The report stated that the victim was not pregnant and died in asphyxiation.

A team of doctors have prepared the postmortem report, said Chief District Medical Officer (CDMO) of Puri Gaurang Sahu. “There was no injury in the private parts of the victim’s body,” said the CDMO, adding, “We have sent the necessary samples for further test to know whether the girl was gang-raped or not.”

Notably, the police had recovered the charred body of the girl of Ghusurikhal village under the same police station. Later investigation showed the accused Satyanarayan Pradhan, an MBA degree holder, had strangulated the girl on the fateful night following a tiff with her over their marriage and later set her on fire to destroy the evidence.
