“We were able to apprehend four of the accused within two days of the incident. While three were directly involved in the attack, five others had helped them to commit the crime. Four have been arrested, and raids are being conducted to nab the remaining four,” he said.

The DCP identified those arrested as Debasis Nayak alias Salu, Sanjay Barik alias Sanju, Pramod Kumar Mahapatra alias Ganesh, the mastermind, and Vicky Nayak, all residents of Bhubaneswar.
