A tragic incident unfolded in Goudapatana village, Khurda district, where a divorced couple was found hanging from a tree using a dupatta.
The shocking discovery was made early Thursday morning.
Local police were alerted after a scooter was found abandoned near the crime scene. Upon arrival, officers discovered the couple’s bodies tied to the tree with a single piece of cloth. Authorities quickly launched an investigation and retrieved the bodies for a post-mortem examination.
According to sources, the man worked at a garage in Sunakhala Bazaar, while the woman owned a beauty parlour in the same area.
