Nabarangpur: Police on Tuesday arrested two youths for allegedly raping and murdering a minor girl under Tentulikhunti police limits.
The accused were identified as Alekha Majhi (20) and Paramananda Bisari (24). According to sources, the duo confessed to have raped the minor girl and subsequently throttled her to death.
