Khurda: A wanted stone mafia, who was arrested by the Special Task Force (STF) team of the Crime Branch Police from the Bolagarh area in Odisha’s Khurda district on Sunday night, was handed over to the Sadar Police on Monday.
Acting on a tip-off, the STF team raided the area in Bolagarh and arrested Dharmendra Mansingh alias Nitu. However, his brother Jitu Mansingh managed to escape. Police later seized a car and brought it to the Bolagarh Police Station.
