Bhubaneswar: Crime Branch officers, probing the sensational murder case of Odisha cameraman Manas Swain, will interrogate two accused, Bibek Nayak and Bhagyadhar Nayak, in Bhadrak sub-jail on April 16.

The Chandbali JFMC court has granted permission to the Crime Branch to interrogate the accused.

The Crime Branch also plans to conduct a Test Identification (TI) parade of five accused in the case.
