In a major development in the sensational Soumya Ranjan Swain murder case in Balianta, Bhubaneswar, the Crime Branch has officially received the lie detection (polygraph) test report of the victim’s close associate, Om Prakash Rout. The high-stakes truth verification test was recently conducted under tight security at the State Forensic Science Laboratory (SFSL) in Bhubaneswar after glaring inconsistencies were found in Om’s initial statements regarding the events leading up to the tragedy.
The victim’s family has repeatedly raised deep suspicions against Om, demanding his immediate arrest and alleging his direct involvement in orchestrating the circumstances around the mysterious death. With the polygraph test results now in the hands of the investigating agency, authorities are carefully analyzing the findings to uncover the exact sequence of events on the fateful night. Police officials anticipate that this scientific evidence will provide crucial breakthroughs and potentially shift the entire direction of the ongoing probe.
