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).
