Balangir: Odisha Police arrested two persons for their alleged involvement in the murder of an Axis Bank staff from Chhattisgarh whose semi-decomposed body was recovered from a forest near Turekela College in Balangir district.
The deceased was identified as Tanu Kure.
According to sources, Tanu went missing on November 21 following which her family lodged a complaint at Raipur police station.
Three days later, her body was found in Turekela area. During the investigation, it was learnt that Tanu was having an affair with one Sachin Agarwal of Kantabanji.
The couple’s relationship was going through a rough patch as Sachin was upset over another man calling up Tanu regularly.
