Dhenkanal: Police have arrested a jail warder, Bairangi Barik, along with two criminals, Babaji Sandha and Kalia Mati, for allegedly murdering one Purna Chandra Behera here.
The three were produced in a local court on Saturday following their arrest on Friday.
Town police station IIC Guanranjan Samal said Barik used to supply drugs to Babaji and Kalia when the duo was in jail. He was also known to have links with the deceased, from whom he used to borrow money.
THE IIC said Babaji and Kalia had a heated argument with Purna when they were having a feast on Wednesday. Bairagi then allegedly instigated the two to murder Purna.
