Rayagada (Odisha) [India], December 26 : Two days after a Russian tourist was found dead in a hotel in Odisha's Rayagada, another visitor from Russia died under mysterious circumstances on Sunday, according to Superintendent of Police, Vivekananda Sharma.
The first tourist was identified as B Vladimir and the other as Powel Anthem, as per their passport.
According to sources, Anthem jumped off the third floor of the hotel in a suicide bid. Anthem's guide arranged an ambulance and rushed him to the district headquarters hospital (DHH). However, he was declared dead after some time in the hospital.
Anthem jumped off the third floor of the hotel soon after attending the funeral of Russian tourist Vladimir Videnov, who had been found dead inside the hotel room on Thursday (December 22), sources said.
"The back-to-back deaths of two Russian tourists in Rayagada town have become a matter of concern for the district administration," sources added.

The only son of Vladimir informed the police and the Russian Embassy that he could not reach Rayagada. He requested them to cremate him at Rayagada.
