Kendrapada: A man was nabbed by police when trying to flee in a woman’s attire after brutally attacking his wife and brother at Madhusudanpur village within Patkura police limits here in Odisha’s Kendrapada district.
The arrested has been identified as Bikram Das (42), a triple murder accused acquitted by court two months back due to lack of evidence.
According to sources, he allegedly assaulted his wife Subhadra (38) and younger brother Sangram (39) on Sunday. He then fled the village in a blue kameez, pink leggings, and a dupatta to hoodwink police, which had by then launched a manhunt to nab him on the basis of a complaint lodged by Sangram. He took bus and also sat among women passengers. His cover was, however, blown when his co-passengers raised an alarm on finding a woman with stubble.
“The passengers caught hold of Bikram and informed police. We rushed to the spot and arrested him. He has been booked under Sections 307, 294, 323, 504 and 506 of the IPC,” said Patkura police station IIC Pradeep Pradhan.
He was later remanded to jail custody after his bail plea was rejected.
In November 2018, Bikram was arrested in the alleged murder of three members of a family in Madhusudanpur village. After languishing in jail for six years, he was acquitted by a court two months back as all 29 witnesses turned hostile.
