Bhubaneswar: The Kharvela Nagar police recovered the bodies of two men, believed to be 23-25 years old, from a rented accommodation in Punjabi Colony near Satyanagar area in Bhubaneswar, Friday.
Inspector-in-charge (IIC) Rajanikanta Mishra said the deceased – Debasish Sahoo and Gyanaranjan Behera- hailed from Jagatsinghpur district and Patrapada area in Bhubaneswar, respectively. The duo took the place on rent almost a year ago after they started working at a bakery unit near Saheed Nagar. No suicide note was found on them, or during a search of the house, Mishra said.
The IIC said the incident came to light after the duo failed to show up at their workplace Friday morning. The bakery owner went to check on them at their home which he found bolted from the inside. “He then broke open the back door to find Debasish and Gyanaranjan lying lifeless on the bed, with froth oozing out of their mouth,” Mishra said.
The bakery owner then alerted neighbours who took them to Capital Hospital where doctors declared them dead before arrival. An official at Capital Hospital’s autopsy centre said no relatives of the deceased duo have so far approached them to claim the bodies.
Mishra said the police are waiting for autopsy reports to ascertain the causes of death of the duo. He told the Kharavela Nagar police had registered a case of unnatural death under the relevant BNS Sections.
