Bhubaneswar: Crime Branch officials, probing the sensational murder of cameraman Manas Swain, have identified the car belonging to prime accused Sarmistha Rout from the CCTV footage of a toll gate at Tangi Bandala in Cuttack district.

The car crossed the toll and drove towards Chandikhol at around 12.08 am on February 9 and returned at around 1.59 am, Crime Branch sources said.
