Bhubaneswar: A youth was allegedly hacked to death in full public view at Palasuni in Odisha capital on Thursday.
The incident took place in front of a liquor shop this afternoon.

On being informed about the murder, Bhubaneswar DCP Anup Sahu accompanied by senior officials from Mancheswar police station reached the spot and started investigation.
