Killers given life sentence in Bhubaneswar doctor couple murder case
In a tragic case of robbery turned deadly, a court handed down life imprisonment sentences to five individuals, including a woman, for the murder of an elderly couple in Sailashree Vihar back in 2015. The convicted individuals are Kishore Chandra Behera (alias Timpa), Mohammed Kamal Khan, Nini (alias Fulasari Behera), Jaban Naik, and Subhadra Jena (alias Tikina). The victims, Prafulla Chandra Mishra (73), an eye surgeon, and his wife Sushma (67), a pathologist, were discovered deceased in their home on November 15, 2015. Prafulla Chandra had been strangled, with his hands and legs bound, while Sushma had sustained severe head and neck injuries, lying in a pool of blood.
The motive behind this brutal act was determined to be robbery. The mastermind behind the plan was Tikina, who had served as the couple's maid. She enlisted the help of the other four individuals to carry out the crime. Prateek Singh, the deputy commissioner of police, highlighted the success of the prosecution in proving the charges against the accused, leading to their conviction. He also noted that within the last three months, Bhubaneswar has seen convictions in at least 28 cases.
