Bhubaneswar: In a shocking incident, a daughter allegedly murdered her old mother for property in the Mancheswar area of Bhubaneswar.
The incident unfolded after the deceased’s husband, Satyanarayana Jitbabu (85), lodged a written complaint with Mancheswar police on August 19, narrating how his daughter Sujata Jit allegedly conspired and killed his wife Prativa Rani Jit.
According to the FIR, Satyanarayana had purchased an Industrial Plot in the name of his wife Prativa, where he ran a printing press named ‘Bajrang Printing Press.’ Satyanarayana had sold his homestead land and other agricultural lands in his hometown, Baripada, and a plot in Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar, to manage his Printing Press.
Eventually, Satyanarayana decided to entrust the press management in the hands of his daughter Sujata Jit due to his old age. But, Sujata couldn’t manage the Printing Press, which led to the business disruption.
Satyanarayana and his wife decided to hand over the press to their only son, Rudranarayan Jitbabu alias Alok, in his last bid to renovate the printing press. However, this did not go well with Sujata, who vehemently opposed it and even assaulted all the family members with the help of miscreants.
“Soon, she joined hands with Bibhuti Bhusan Panda of Palasuni and began to conspire to grab the property by using different unfair ways. They devised plans to ouster me from my residence using unfair means, following which I was bound to leave and stay with my son,” the complainant stated.
“However, Sujata started ill-treating her mother. When my son and I tried to meet her, she directed the security guards to throw us out of their apartment. Later, we were informed by our brother-in-law to visit Capital Hospital urgently as my wife was serious on August 16, 2023. We rushed to the Capital Hospital only to find my wife dead, but the reason for her death was unknown to anybody, which seemed suspicious. Moreover, I could not witness the physical dead body of my wife in the hospital,” the complainant added in his FIR.
Reportedly demanding a thorough probe into the matter, Satyanarayana has been running from pillar to post to get justice, but to no avail.
