Bhubaneswar: Mystery has deepened in the Subhashree Mohapatra murder case in Odisha capital with police today detaining a man as she had telephoned him multiple times before her death.

As per the Call Detail Report (CDR), the woman had called a person of Nayagarh district as many as 7 times between 6.30 PM and 6.49 PM on August 30. The final call had lasted for 27 seconds, the report said. Subhashree was found dead inside her house, the very evening.

The Kharavela Nagar police have detained the person for questioning in this connection. Cops were trying to ascertain as to what was the conversation between the two during the phone calls.

A case under Section 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender) has been registered while further investigation was underway.

Notably, Subhashree was found dead inside the house in Shastri Nagar locality in Bhubaneswar. The incident occurred when nobody was present at the residence.

The woman’s husband was away from home while her son had gone to a nearby place for tuition. Her son, after returning from tuition classes, found her lifeless inside the house.

Prima facie suggested that she was strangled to death as mark was found on her neck.

“I found her unconscious with a mark on her neck following which I took her to the Capital Hospital. The doctors said that either she died by suicide or someone strangled her to death,” said deceased woman’s husband Ananta Narayan Nath.
