Bhubaneswar: The Twin City Commissionerate Police cracked the case of murder of a woman shopkeeper at IIIT Chhak in Gothapatna area of Odisha capital, said Police Commissioner Saumyendra Kumar Priyadarsi today.<\/p>\n
Shockingly, the killing was a fallout of a petty dispute pertaining to buying of \u2018Ghuguni\u2019 (chickpea curry) from the tiffin stall run by deceased Sasmita Behera, the official said.<\/p>\n
On the basis of a complaint lodged by the woman\u2019s brother, police had registered a case and started investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n
During probe, it was revealed that accused Mithun Jena (34) of Ganga Patna area had gone to the eatery on November 5 morning to buy \u2018Ghuguni\u2019, during which the woman refused to give him the curry, police sources said.<\/p>\n
Holding a grudge against the shopkeeper, Mithun purchased a knife and went to the tiffin stall on November 6 evening. The accused stabbed the woman with the knife at the shop while her husband had gone to fetch water from a nearby tap, sources added.<\/p>\n
Mithun then fled the spot and threw the knife on the way near a transformer.<\/p>\n
