Devotee falls to death from mutt's roof after monkey attack
Bhubaneswar/Puri: A 52-year-old man fell to his death from a mutt's terrace while watching the Suna Besha ceremony in Puri on Sunday after being attacked by a monkey. The victim was identified as Babaji Chandra Behera from Jagatsinghpur district. "My father was declared brought dead at Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar. He had sustained serious head injuries after his fall from the mutt's roof. He was initially admitted to Puri district headquarters hospital from where he was shifted to Capital Hospital," said Behera's younger son, Gobinda Chandra. Gobinda said his parents went to Puri on Saturday evening. His father, a farmer, and mother, Hemalata Behera, had positioned themselves on the mutt's rooftop near the Jagannath Temple to watch the deities adorned in gold jewellery atop their chariots. It was their first visit to Puri for Suna Besha. "The massive crowd of devotees on Grand Road hindered the ambulance's progress, delaying my father's arrival at hospital," Gobinda said. Puri chief district medical officer Akshaya Satapathy said, "The patient was brought to the Puri district headquarters hospital in a critical condition. He was immediately referred to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack."
