**Bhubaneswar**: The Commissionerate Police on Friday arrested a tuition teacher in connection with the alleged murder of a woman here at Chandrasekharpur area on Thursday evening.
The tuition teacher has been identified as Rashmikant Sahu, who had been coaching the deceased’s son for years, police said.
“Yesterday we got to know about the incident after the hospital authorities informed us. We have sent the body for post-mortem and the cause of the death can only be ascertained after we got the report from the scientific team,” said Bhubaneswar DCP Satyabrata Bhoi.
Prima facie, it appears the woman was strangulated to death. The incident is fallout of a heated argument between the tuition teacher and the woman, the DCP added.
The deceased was identified as P Sheela Jaya, wife of Anil Rajmohan, the additional vice-president of a leading liquor company. Jaya, who stays in BJB Nagar here, had gone in her car to the coaching centre of tuition teacher at Chandrasekharpur.
The driver, who was waiting outside, was alerted by Sahu who said Jaya had tripped inside and injured herself. The driver went inside and found Jaya unconscious.
