Rayagada: A college student was allegedly stabbed to death by three motorcycle-borne miscreants in broad daylight in at Gautam Nagar Odisha’s Rayagada town on Friday.

The deceased has been identified as Pramod Kalka, a resident of Similiguda village of Sesakhal hata of Sadar block. He was the nephew of former Zilla Parishad president Gangadhar Puala.

According to sources, Pramod was waylaid by his attackers while returning home on a scooter after dropping his cousin at school. Before he could respond, the trio attacked him with sharp weapons, killing him on the spot, and then fled.

His uncle told the media that Pramod had been receiving threats from an unidentified person. “He had told me about 3 days back that someone was looking for an opportunity to kill him,” he said, adding that the attack could be the fallout of political or personal enmity.

Meanwhile, police have recovered the body and initiated a probe. “Efforts are on to nab the accused,” said Rayagada SPDO Rashmiranjan Senapati.
