In the last 15 days, three Russian nationals have been found dead. Two Russian tourists, including a lawmaker who was a known critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, were found dead under mysterious circumstances in southern Odisha's Rayagada town.
While Vladimir Bidenov (61) was found dead in his room on December 22, his friend Pavel Antov (65), who was one of the richest lawmakers in Russia, died after allegedly falling from a hotel's third floor on December 24.
Following their cremation, with their families consent, the Odisha Police collected the remnants for forensic examination. The Odisha Police also recorded the statements of two other Russian nationals, Turvov Mikhail and Pane Senko Natalia, and a tourist guide named Jitendra Singh. Curiously, while the police preserved Bidenov's viscera, the same was not done in Antov's case.
