A sense of shock gripped Baghpali village in Odisha’s Bargarh district after two men were found dead under mysterious circumstances inside a house on Thursday. The incident took place under the jurisdiction of the Bheden police station.
Who Were the Victims?
The deceased have been identified as:
- Magha Bhue (55): The owner of the house where the bodies were found.
- Tarani Bag (35): A man with a criminal background who had recently returned to the village after being away for a long time.
Both bodies were reportedly found covered in blood, showing clear signs of physical assault.
What Might Have Happened?
While the exact cause of death is yet to be officially confirmed, villagers suspect that the two men were involved in a violent altercation. There are multiple theories circulating in the village:
- Theory 1: Tarani, who was believed to be under the influence of alcohol, may have initiated an attack on Magha.
- Theory 2: In retaliation, some villagers allege that members of Magha’s family might have turned on Tarani, resulting in both deaths.
Police have not endorsed any of these claims yet and are investigating every possible angle.
Tarani’s Background Raises Questions
Locals revealed that Tarani had a criminal history and had been absconding for quite some time. He had only recently returned to Baghpali village. Reports suggest that he frequently consumed alcohol and was allegedly involved in the illegal liquor business.
On the day of the incident, Tarani reportedly visited Magha’s house, possibly to drink alcohol. Some villagers believe that a dispute broke out during the drinking session, which may have escalated into violence and led to the deaths.
Police Investigation Ongoing
Police reached the scene soon after being alerted. Forensic experts and investigators have started collecting evidence from the site. Villagers and family members of both men are being questioned to piece together the timeline of events.
Authorities have assured that a thorough investigation is underway and no possibility is being ruled out — whether it was a mutual fight, a revenge killing, or something else entirely.
As of now, no arrests have been made and the police are awaiting post-mortem reports to get more clarity.
