Odisha: A female health worker was burned alive in a mysterious fire in Ramchandrapur village, located in the Devgaon police station area of Balangir district. Odisha Tourism Guide
The deceased woman has been identified as Jayanti Barik, who worked at a local healthcare center. The incident occurred late at night while she was sleeping inside her home. Her husband, Upendra Kalse, was slightly injured in the fire and managed to escape.
According to initial reports, villagers witnessed the incident early in the morning and gathered outside the house before informing the police. Upon receiving the information, Devgaon police arrived at the scene and began an investigation.
What has raised serious questions is that the fire reportedly only harmed the woman, while the house was unaffected. This has led villagers to suspect foul play, with many alleging that it may have been a planned murder rather than a sudden fire. Police have launched a detailed investigation into the incident to determine the exact cause of the fire and the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death. Further investigations are underway.
