Bhubaneswar : Bhubaneswar DCP Umashankar Dash revealed that he planned to kill Priyanka Priyadarshini Sahu's son first, then her, and then commit suicide, just hours after the murder accused Jagannath Pradhan's mother spoke out about his son's relationship with the victim.
On Monday, the 34-year-old allegedly murdered a married woman in her home at Bhimatangi Houseboard Colony, which is under the jurisdiction of Airfield police, and then consumed poison and slashed his vein in an unsuccessful suicide attempt. Prior to that, he had sent Priyanka's husband, Rakesh, a WhatsApp message with a photo of her.
However, while playing at the property owner's place, Priyanka's 3-year-old kid was saved from Jagannath's deadly plan.
The DCP said that preliminary investigation revealed that both victim and accused knew each other. “There is no evidence indicating forcible entry of the accused into the house. The recovered note will be sent to the forensic lab,” he said.
The accused is currently undergoing treatment and will be questioned once he recovers, the DCP added.
In his last WhatsApp message to his family, Jagannath wrote: ‘Rinki, whom I loved dearly destroyed me…I have lost my mental balance & I will not return’.
His mother had earlier told the media that the duo was in a relationship earlier but they were no in touch post her marriage. “Priyanka tried to re-establish contact with Jagannath who had moved to Bangalore after the birth of her child,” she alleged.
