Bhubaneswar: The wife of Turam Purty, the eyewitness who died in the alleged poaching and burning of the carcass of a wild tusker at Similipal Tiger Reserve in Mayurbhanj district, filed a murder complaint against the three defendants in the said case.
Purty’s wife filed an FIR at Jashipur police station naming the three accused Jenabil ranger in charge Shiv Shankar Samal, forester Chandrabhanu Behera and forester Binod Kumar Das.
Some forestry staff reportedly burned an elephant carcass and dumped the charred remains in a nearby stream to destroy evidence after poachers killed the jumbo and removed its tusks in the central area of the tiger reserve . Purty was present there and he sent photos of the incident to higher authorities.
Based on this, the Forest Department conducted an investigation and suspended the three defendants. They had threatened Purty with dire consequences if he opened his mouth. As a result, he lost his temper and drank poison on the night of December 11.
He was immediately admitted to Karanjia Subdivision Hospital and later transferred to Pandit Raghunath Murmu Medical College & Hospital, Baripada. As his condition worsened, he was transferred again to SCB Medical College & Hospital in Cuttack. However, he died during treatment on December 16.
