Sanjay Jana of Padhurak district in Odisha was found dead on railway track. Post-mortem report revealed that his body had injuries that were not similar to the ones caused after being hit by a train.
According to the police, Jana was brought to Guru Textile Mill at Semmandampalayam by Ranjith Biswal, also a native of Padhurak district. Jana reportedly did not like the job and wanted to join another mill. This led to an altercation between Jana and Ranjith Biswal.
