Former Indian hockey captain and Olympian bronze medallist Birendra Lakra may find him in a soup as Orissa High Court has directed a high level reinvestigation into the suspicious death of his friend.
Mr. Lakra, along with another woman, was present in a flat in Bhubaneswar where Anand Toppo, a youth, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in 2022.
According to a copy of the Orissa High Court’s judgement, on February 28, 2022, the deceased’s father Bandhna Toppo had received a call from Mr. Lakra that his son Anand was unconscious and shifted to Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar, in an ambulance by the woman, Manjeet Tete. The doctor, however, declared him brought dead.
