Rourkela: The Rourkela SP today ordered for an investigation into the death of Rourkela Assistant Collector Sushmita Minz.
DCP-rank officer Banita Majhi will carry out the probe, the SP said.
Members of the Sundargarh Adivasi Mach, a tribal outfit, had yesterday gheraoed the office of the Additional District Magistrate here demanding CBI probe into the death.
Holding the Collector and the Rourkela ADM responsible for the death, the protesters demanded arrest of the two officials.
Notably, Sushmita was found dead in the pond of Sensory Park under Plant Site police limits in Rourkela city on September 19.
Post-mortem report has confirmed antemortem drowning and there is no evidence of homicide, said Plant Site police station IIC JR Pati.
However, Sushmita’s brother in his complaint lodged with police alleged that she was murdered. He said Sushmita was under depression due to work pressure.
The complainant blamed Sundargarh Collector, Rourkela ADM, Gurundia Block Development Officer, Gurundia Child Development Project Officer and a woman Sub-Inspector of police for his sister’s death.
Sushmita’s family alleged that the police in cahoots with the doctors have prepared a fake post-mortem report to hide the real cause of her death.
