Kandhamal: The elder brother of Police Deputy Inspector Swagatika Behera of G Udayagiri has alleged harassment and mental torture by the Inspector in Charge (IIC) of the police station as the reason for his sister’s death.
Swagatika’s older brother, Manoranjan, alleged that the IIC lady from the G Udayagiri police station had been harassing his sister for the past few days.
“Swagatika told me that the IIC at the police station was mentally harassing and torturing her. She was crying while she was talking to me on the phone yesterday. Swagatika told me that the IIC would kill her through mental torture. Today, I was unable to contact her despite repeated attempts,” said Manoranjan.
Swagatika’s older brother also sought a high-level investigation into the incident. “The Criminal Branch should investigate the case,” he said.
Notably, Swagatika was found hanging at his official residence at G Udayagiri Police Station earlier today. The Deputy Inspector was alone in her official residence.
Meanwhile, sources claimed that Swagatika had spoken to some of his colleagues on the phone earlier today.
Swagatika’s family and friends have claimed that she was a soft-spoken girl and used to have a smile on her face.
“Swagatika was not married and supported her family financially. She had never misbehaved with anyone, ”said a relative.
