Bhubaneswar: A court in Odisha\u2019s Ganjam district has sentenced a doctor to life imprisonment for killing an agent of a private bank over an illicit affair in 2018.<\/p>\n
The Ganjam Additional District Judge (ADJ)-3 Raj Kumar Das also imposed a penalty of Rs 10 lakh on convict Hrushikesh Tripathy.<\/p>\n
The court awarded two years of imprisonment to two of Tripathy\u2019s aide in connection with the murder of Bishnu Prasad Gouda (45) on September 4, 2018.<\/p>\n
As per the case records, the incident took place when Tripathy was posted at a hospital in Chhatrapur area of Ganjam.<\/p>\n
Prior to the incident, Gouda was working in a private clinic of Tripathy at Goilundi in Berhampur. He was reportedly in a relationship with a nurse of the clinic.<\/p>\n
A dispute arose between Gouda and Tripathy, who also had feelings for the nurse. Subsequently, Gouda quit his job at Tripathy\u2019s clinic and jointed as an agent in a private bank. However, Gouda was in touch with the nurse despite repeated warnings by Tripathy.<\/p>\n
Tripathy had killed Gouda in his clinic after making the latter unconscious by administering an injection and cut the body into several pieces.<\/p>\n
Tripathy then carried the dismembered body parts to his native village Badagumula and buried them. He also constructed a toilet on the burial place to destroy the evidence.<\/p>\n
Basing upon a missing complaint lodged by Gouda\u2019s family, the police launched a probe and subsequently retrieved the bank agent\u2019s body parts from Tripathy\u2019s village.<\/p>\n
The police later arrested Tripathy and two others in connection with the case and filed chargesheet against them in the court.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
