The deceased has been identified as Santosh Mishra (25), son of Ramesh Mishra of Ambatara village.
Santosh who worked and lived in a farmhouse in Nuapada village, was found dead yesterday night and his body was first spotted floating in a pond in its compound, by some staffs. They immediately called up the deceased’s family members and intimated about the incident.
The deceased’s body was recovered from the pond after a joint effort by the police and fire personnel who rushed to the spot later in the night.
However, locals staged a road blockade in Nuapada village keeping the body, after family members suspected it to be a case of murder. The blockade was removed only after police intervened and assured of a thorough probe.
