A sensational murder case has sent shockwaves through Bhubaneswar after a young beauty parlour worker, identified as Liza, was accused of killing her lover, a taxi driver, in what police describe as a disturbing case of a relationship gone horribly wrong. The incident, which unfolded in a busy part of the city, has sparked intense public debate and curiosity.
Accused and Victim: A Complicated Relationship
Liza, a native of Jagatsinghpur district, was reportedly in a close relationship with Satyabrata Pradhan, a married man from a nearby village. Pradhan was living a settled life with his wife and children, but investigators say he became deeply involved with Liza under circumstances that remain unclear. This involvement ultimately ended in his brutal killing, now at the centre of a criminal probe.
Police Probe Multiple Angles
As suspicion deepens, police are examining whether Liza acted alone or had assistance from her boyfriend or others. Investigators are also trying to determine whether the motive was emotional, financial, or linked to ongoing disputes. Officials said all possibilities remain open as evidence is being gathered and statements recorded.
Neighbours’ Accounts Add Dramatic Twist
Statements from neighbours have added a sensational layer to the case. Locals described Liza as charismatic and openly flirtatious, claiming she attracted attention from men across age groups. Eyewitnesses alleged that she was often seen sitting on her scooter in the mornings, smoking and interacting with visitors who arrived on foot or in cars.
“Her charm was hard to ignore, but now people are questioning what really went on behind the scenes,” said one neighbour, requesting anonymity.
City Grapples With Dark Love Story
The case has gripped the city, blending elements of romance, betrayal and violence. While social media buzzes with speculation, police have urged the public not to jump to conclusions and to allow the investigation to run its course.
Authorities Urge Calm as Investigation Continues
Officials have assured that the truth behind the murder will soon emerge. “We are carefully examining all evidence and witness statements,” a senior police officer said, appealing for calm amid growing public interest in the case.
