Rourkela: An orphan teen, who was abducted five years ago from a slum in Rourkela, was rescued from a house in the city on Tuesday.
Police have arrested a student and another person in this connection. They were identified as Chiranjeev Chakraborty, an engineering student, and Prabhat Panda, the son of an employee of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP).
According to Rourkela police, the accused had taken a government quarter at Sector-1 on rent and kept around 60 dogs for a kennel business.
