A couple of days after an Odisha&nbsp;woman cricketer Rajashree Swain went missing, the police found her dead body hanging from a tree in a dense forest on outskirts of Cuttack city. While the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pinak Mishra was quoted saying the reason for her death could only be discovered after the post-mortem, the family alleges this as a murder. It was on January 12th this year when Rajashree’s team’s coach Pushpanjali Banerjee filed a missing person's report at the Mangalabag police station in Cuttack after Swain was unreachable on her phone. After intensive search, it was found out that the 26-year-old Rajashree is dead.

"The dead body of a woman cricketer from Odisha, Rajashree Swain, was found inside a dense forest near Cuttack city. Her body was found hanging from a tree. She was missing since Jan 11, and her coach had filed a complaint on 12th Jan," Deputy Commissioner of Police Pinak Mishra said.

As quoted by ANI, Pinak Mishra further added a case of unnatural death has been registered and the police will look into the matter from all angles.

"A case of unnatural death has been registered in the matter. We found her body hanging from a tree in Gurudijhatia forest in Athagarh area. We will probe the death from all angles," he added.

Belonging from the Puri district, the right-arm pacer, Swain was in the town for a training camp in preparation for a national-level event in Puducherry. Following the 16-member squad announcement where she missed out on making the cut, Puri was seen crying and even left the hotel where the team was staying, as per her roommate.

However, Swain’s family members and relatives allege&nbsp;this as a murder case since the body exhibited injury marks and her eyes were also damaged. They further put fingers on the management for overlooking her despite outperforming others.
