The crime scene suggested that there might be tussle and fights. Three rooms were ransacked and utensils were found scattered in the dining hall where she was lying dead. Police suspected that the goons might have stolen some jewellery as the victim’s neclace and other ornaments are missing. Two cupboards were kept opened.
Police also seized a knife, a bloodstained shirt, a bag and a mobile phone from a drain in front of the residence. They were investigating into the possible role of Pattnayak’s maid, driver and private security guard, who has been absconding since yesterday. A visiting card with blood marks and a new saree were found from his chamber at the gate’s entrance.
