Man Stabs Youth To Death, Surrenders Before Police In Ganjam

Berhampur: A man allegedly stabbed a youth to death at Harijan Sahi under Patrapur block in Ganjam district late on Tuesday.

Soon after the incident, the accused, identified as Surat Nimei, walked into the local station and confessed to his crime.

Although the reason behind the murder is yet to be known, police suspect it to be the fallout of an old rivalry.
