Twin city Commissioner
Dr Rajendra Prasad Sharma
Bhubaneswar: Contrary to the claim of the son and husband of the murdered Bachan Sudha Pattanayak that more than one person was involved in killing her, Twin city Commissioner of Police Dr Rajendra Prasad Sharma on Tuesday clarified that the arrested security guard Dipti Ranjan Patnaik was the only accused in committing the offence.

Basing on the psychoanalysis report which was conducted on the accused last week to know whether more than one person was involved in the crime, the Commissioner said “The forensic psychoanalysis assessment report revealed that Dipti was the only offender in the crime. No accomplice of him is involved in killing Bachan Sudha Pattanayak.”

Notably, the report was submitted to the Commissioner late on Monday night by expert Dr Asha Srivastav, a clinical psychologist of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory in New Delhi who conducted the analysis on Dipti to examine the mental status of the accused on September 19.

The Commissioner however, did not reveal further information about the analysis and said it will be produced in the court for trial.

“The report is very confidential.  Earlier we had strong physical evidence that Dipti is the lone accused in the murder and the fresh psychoanalysis report will further strengthen to prove that Dipti is the only offender,” said the Commissioner.

The commissioner further said, the police are ready to conduct further scientific tests if needed.
