The body of a youth was recovered from a hotel room under suspicious circumstances in Balasore on Saturday, triggering a police investigation into the incident. The recovery was made from a hotel located within the Sahadevkhunta police station limits, where a woman who had reportedly stayed with the deceased is suspected to be involved and is currently untraceable.

Police sources said the body was lying inside the hotel room since Friday. The matter came to light after the hotel staff alerted authorities due to unusual circumstances surrounding the room.

Body Recovered From Third-Floor Room

The deceased has been identified as Akash Mahanta of the Jambani area under Betnoti police station limits in Mayurbhanj district. His body was found in room number 402, located on the third floor of the hotel.

According to information, two days prior to the incident, two young men checked into the hotel along with a woman and booked the room. However, when the room remained unopened the following day, and there was no response from inside, the hotel owner grew suspicious and informed the police.

Police Investigation Underway

Police immediately reached the spot and began an investigation. Efforts were on to trace the woman who was staying in the room with the deceased at the time of reporting. Authorities also examined whether another youth was present at the time of the incident.
