Bhubaneswar: Saheed Nagar police in Bhubaneswar arrested two persons including a woman for their involvement in the death of a man who died after a kidnapping bid last night.
Police arrested Netramani Behera and Batakrushna Behera on charges of murder and kidnapping Bichitra Palei. They were arrested based on the complaint filed by Bichitra’s family members.
Bichitra had reportedly taken Rs 3 lakh from one Batakrushna three years ago. There was a fight between the duo as Bichitra delayed to return the money. Later, it was solved following mutual understanding among them.
