Main accused in the sensational acid attack on a student of Diploma in Medical laboratory Technology (DMlT) case and husband of the victim Niranjan Pradhan was nabbed by a team of the city police from Mumbai’s Koprigaon on April 9.
The Crime Branch police were continuously keeping a tab on Niranjan and his activities. later, the special squad nabbed him with cooperation of their Mumbai counterparts and produced him in the Vashi JMFC Court and brought him here on transit remand on Thursday, informed Brahmapur SP Pinika Mishra in a Press conference here on Thursday.
After getting information that Niranjan has got a passport, police issued a Red Corner notice against him, said Mishra. later, Niranjan was produced in a local court and police prayed for taking on a five-day remand.
Notably, on November 16, Niranjan had hurled acid on his wife Minati Pradhan on the MKCG premises in full public view and went underground. Minati was referred to the SCB Medical College Hospital from here in a critical condition.
later, based on Minati’s father’s complaint, the BNPur police had registered a case and initiated investigations.
As the accused was frequently changing places, it was a challenge for the police to trace him. Police after taking him on remand would try to find out who else are involved in the incident, said the SP.
