Jharsuguda: The owner of a dhaba is believed to have been stoned to
death in Jharsuguda late on Friday. There were deep injury marks on
his face.
The deceased, identified as Rajesh Sahu, was found dead at his food
outlet, Babudera dhaba. It is located near Kanaktora under Lakhanpur
tehsil in the district.
According to sources, Sahu’s wife who had gone to the dhaba to give
