Bhawanipatna: A charred body of a widowed woman was found in her home at Chicheiguda village under Junagarh police limits in Odisha’s Kalahandi district, a source said Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Padmabati Meher.
The deceased’s brother Balaram Meher alleged that she was burnt to death by some miscreants Saturday night when she was alone in the house. He further claimed that the murder was a result of a family dispute.
It is suspected to be a case of planned murder, as the door of the deceased woman’s house was locked from outside, the source added.
Upon being informed, Junagarh police reached the spot and launched an investigation.
