Overview
- Bhadrak police arrested the main accused, Satyabrata Das, after a 10-year-old girl was found dead, as villagers staged a blockade and demolished an accused’s house.
- Odisha’s chief minister announced ₹10 lakh in ex-gratia support for the Bhadrak victim’s family and directed a thorough investigation.
- Six suspects were arrested in Sambalpur after the death of migrant worker Juel (Jewel) Sheikh; police say it followed an altercation over a bidi and deny an identity-linked motive.
- In Bangladesh’s Rajbari district, Amrit Mondal was beaten to death by a crowd; police detained an associate, seized firearms, and the interim government said initial findings point to extortion rather than a communal attack.
- The Rajbari case follows last week’s lynching of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh, for which authorities reported multiple arrests and issued public condemnations.
