Police said Sarangi (in pic) killed his 55-year-old wife Priyambada by slitting her throat following an argument and later surrendered at the Airfield Police Station in the city. When 62-year-old Bhubaneswar native Debaraj Sarangi allegedly visited his married daughter to hand over some jewellery and cash at 11:00 am, she thought little of it. That is, until she heard the news that her mother had been murdered, and Sarangi had turned himself in.
Police said Sarangi killed his 55-year-old wife Priyambada by slitting her throat following an argument and later surrendered at the Airfield Police Station in the city. A senior officer said that around 11:45 am, the accused arrived at the police station and confessed to the crime, after which a probe was initiated.
Sources said the couple had been married for nearly 30 years and lived in a posh locality in Bhubaneswar. Sarangi, a senior accountant in the Accountant General’s office, had retired two years ago.
