KENDRAPADA: A 39-year-old man in Jajpur district on Saturday allegedly stabbed to death his wife’s paramour who had blackmailed her with her nude photos. He later surrendered before the police.
The deceased has been identified as Jaydev Mahalik (26). Police said Jaydev befriended accused Manas Ranjan Panda’s wife during his frequent visits to their home and developed a relationship with her.
He also clicked her nude pictures and videos on his mobile phone and blackmailed her for sexual favours.
Police said Jaydev had been blackmailing her for sexual favours for more than three years.
Manas had filed an FIR against the deceased two years back and alleged that Jaydev raped his wife. Acting on the complaint, police had arrested Jaydev. After being released from jail, Jaydev had formed a relationship with Manas’s wife during his absence from home.
“A few days back, the accused learnt that the deceased was blackmailing her with some obscene photos. In a fit of rage, the accused brutally killed Jaydev with a knife after barging into his house on Saturday.
Police seized a blood-stained knife from the spot. Later, Manas surrendered before the police.
He was booked under Section 302 of the IPC. We are investigating the case,” said inspector in-charge of Jajpur Town police station, Bilwamangal Sethi.
The police sent Jaydev’s body to the Jajpur Govt Hospital for postmortem.
