In a major breakthrough, Kendrapada Sadar police recently nabbed five anti socials for their alleged involvement in Bapini Swain murder case.
Bipin was shot dead on January 24 last in broad daylight at the busy Kakat-Sadar thana road near Shyamsundarpur chowk.

According to police sources, the Sadar police with the help of Marshaghai and Mahakalapada counterparts conducted a raid at seaside coastal pockets of Bahakuda and managed to nab five anti socials while they were hiding at a dilapidated house in an abandoned prawn gherry.
Kedarnath Swain alias Bapini (32), a resident of Samajori village under Tikhiri panchayat of Marshaghai police station, was shot dead by the accused as Bapini allegedly shot dead Rajkishore Behera of Dhaniapada, on April 24, 2015 near Khajurimaliaghai. In order to take revenge on Bapini, the brothers of Rajkishore took the aide of litu alias Debi Prasad Das of Garajanga village.
