Bhubaneswar, June 27: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Saturday dismissed newly appointed Odisha Taxation & Accounts Service (OT&AC) officer Bhimsen Tudu following his arrest in connection with the death of a medical student, with whom he was in relationship for the past 14 years.
According to a release of the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), Tudu will not be eligible to get a Government job in the future.
“Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has dismissed newly appointed OT&AS officer Bhimasen Tudu from Government services. Tudu will also not be considered an eligible candidate for any Government employment in the future,” it stated.
“It may be noted that Tudu, who was recently recruited OT&AS officer Bhimsen Tudu, did not attend the induction programme since June 4, 2026. Also, he did not appear for his final examination at the Madhusudan Das Regional Academy of Financial Management (MDRAFM). During the same period, he was arrested by Barang Police in connection with a death case and was subsequently remanded to judicial custody. Since he remained in police custody for more than 48 hours in connection with a criminal case, action was taken in accordance with the law, and he was dismissed from Government service with immediate effect,” it added.
For the context, the Commissionerate Police on June 12 arrested Bhimsen Prasad Tudu (29), boyfriend of deceased medical student Chandrika Hembram, on charges of abetting her suicide. Tudu was nabbed from Bisoi police station area in Mayurbhanj.
According to police there was enough evidence against Tudu which prove Bhimsen compelled Chandrika to take the extreme step.
Deceased Chandrika Hembram's family also said that she and Tudu were school sweethearts who had been in a relationship for the past 14 years and had planned to marry in 2027.
According to deceased’s family member, Tudu backtracked from the plan and distanced himself from Chandrika after getting into the Odisha Administrative Service and suddenly started disliking her over her complexion.
While Chandrika underwent cosmetic treatment to become fair, Tudu got into a relationship with another woman, also an OAS probationer.
Chandrika Hembram's body was found floating in the Kathajodi river on the morning of June 4. Soon after, Tudu was on the run and later filed for anticipatory bail in the Orissa High Court
