The police here arrested one Rajkumar Saha (28) of Santinagar in Budharaja area in connection with a loot case under Jamankira police station on Tuesday.
At the same time, the police also seized four mobile phones, one automatic pistol, three live cartridges and one bike from the possession of Saha, informed the SP Pratik Kumar Mohanty.
However, the second accused, a resident of Hirakud town is still at large, informed the SP. His identity is yet to be disclosed.
But the important part of the incident is that the police are yet to recover the looted cash. It is believed that either the entire cash is with the second accused or the miscreants have kept it somewhere which they are yet to reveal before the police. Saha is a hardened criminal and many cases are pending against him in different police stations of the district, sources said.
