Bhubaneswar, Oct. 20 -- Odisha police on Wednesday claimed to have unraveled the murder plot of lady teacher Mamita Meher, whose heat is now being felt in the political circles right in the State Capital.

Speaking to mediapersons, Northern Range DIG Deepak Kumar said the main accused Gobinda Sahu killed Mamata inside his car.

"The murder was pre-planned and Gobinda killed Meher while they were on their way from Bhawanipatna to Kegaon," said Kumar.

Though she died of asphyxiation, a probe, however, is on to ascertain if she was strangulated or throttled.
