In February, he had survived a fatal attack after he was shot from behind while riding a bike. Kapilendra was critical but had recuperated after treatment. But the anger of villagers did not subside and on Monday evening, a group of armed miscreants barged into his home and fatally attacked him and his wife with sharp weapons.<\/p>\n<p>While Kapilendra died on the spot, wife Sasita managed to escape from the spot. She was chased by the miscreants until she was rescued in a pool of blood by locals. However, she too succumbed.<\/p>\n<p>Police on getting information reached the place and seized the bodies. A case has been registered and investigation is underway. While none of the villagers gave any information regarding the crime, sources said the crime was carried out in knowledge of Damadua sarpanch\u2019s husband.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n    if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n    js.src = \"\n    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n  }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] &#13; The deceased were identified as Kapilendra Mallik and his wife Sasita of Ghodapanka village within Adaba police limits.\u00a0\u00a0 &#13; Kasturi Swain Published On : Sep 26, 2023 at 9:12 AM Updated On : Sep 26, 2023 at 9:12 AM &#13;Representational Photo&#13; &#13; &#13; Mohana: In yet another instance of blind belief and superstitions [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-states"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8990"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8990\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8992,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8990\/revisions\/8992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
