Bhubaneswar: Komisiancah police, who restored the body of Anurag Anurag Das, son of senior journalist Navin Das, from a pool in Bhubaneswar embed their hopes on the diatom test to investigate.
Diatom is a photoosynthesis algae, which is found in almost every water body.
If someone is still alive when entering water, diatom will enter the lungs when he breathes water if you sink.
This diatom will then travel to various parts of the body through blood.
If the dead are thrown into the water, he cannot breathe, there is no circulation and there is no diatom cell movement to various organs.
“We have collected pond water samples and sent it to the country forensic science laboratory.
If diatoms are found in Manish’s body, we will match it with water samples to ascertain whether the death is caused by sinking,” Deputy Commissioner of Police of the Uma Shankar Dash said.
Although the police did not reveal the findings of the post-mortem report, the doctors, who carried out an autopsy reported to the police that Manish did not die with sinking.
“If he didn’t die by drowning, there was a strong possibility that he was thrown into the pool after his death.
We investigated the case of all possible angles,” said the Tamando police station official.
Police Tamando on Monday sealed a hotel in the Patrapada area where Manish had a party with his friends on Saturday night.
His body was found in the pool, about 3 km from the hotel on Sunday.
Causes and circumstances that cause Manish death continue to be enveloped by mysteries with the police groping in the dark for vital instructions.
“We were checking CCTV footage from the hotel and asked them, who were present at the party that night.
Manish was seen leaving the hotel at around 3.30 in the morning on Sundays),” said another police official.
His father on Monday released a message of a video that accused Manish’s friends to kill him.
“Police Commissioner Saumendra Priyadarhi has convinced me about arresting the earliest killers.
I have faith in the police,” said Navin Das.
At the beginning of the Sunday, he filed a complaint with the Infocity police accused that his son was kidnapped by some unknown people on Saturday night.
