As a result of the arrest of the sole suspect in the high-profile murder case, concerns are being raised concerning the security measures in place inside the jail.

The Department of Prisons has requested a DIG-level investigation since it takes the situation seriously. Anasuya Jena, DIG of Sambalpur Prisons Range, would look into the situation to determine why Sahu committed suicide.

Sunil Kumar Bansal, the Director General of Police (DGP) for Odisha, issued the request later in the day.

Mamita Meher, a teacher at Sunshine English Medium School in Mahaling, Kalahandi district, and a resident of Jharni village in Turekela Block of Bolangir district, went missing on October 8, 2021.
