A woman, who lost her husband in a parcel bomb explosion just five days into their marriage, has made an appeal for justice to Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
Soumya Sekhar, a man in his mid-20s, and his grandmother, 85, were killed, while his wife, Reema Sahoo, sustained critical injuries when a parcel bomb disguised as a wedding gift exploded at their Patnagarh home in Balangir district on February 23.
Sahoo, also in her mid-20s, is undergoing treatment at the SCB Medical College and Hospital here.
"I want justice and I request the chief minister to direct the state police to thoroughly investigate into this incident and arrest the culprits," Sahoo said.
Her family members also met the CM recently in the state capital to discuss the matter. Patnaik assured the family that the state police would do everything to solve the case, a source close to the chief minister's office said
