According to the Superintendent of Police, Puri, Sarthak Sarangi, informed Indian Express, "Since there was a deep injury on the back of her head, it is suspected that Sujata may have been hit with a hard object. It seems the motive was not loot and further investigation into the matter is underway."

When Dr Sahu was inquired on the matter, if he suspects anyone for the said incident, he informed that few days back he had a quarrel with a nurse in the hospital.  "I suspect that the nurse and her husband have murdered my wife," Dr Sahu told Orissapost.
