Keonjhar: In a gruesome incident, a youth was allegedly burnt to death following a minor quarrel in Odisha’s Keonjhar district on Sunday.
According to sources, the victim, identified as Pranab Mohanty of Hundula village under Keonjhar Sadar police station in the district, in an inebriated condition had gone to the house of Bhuban Das in the same village. Pranab abused Bhuban’s family over an old issue and a heated exchange of words ensued between the two.
