A 25-year-old driver of Trilochanpur village under Nikirai police station was killed allegedly by some of his friends on Sunday night near a field, 50 meters from his house.
The deceased youth was identified as Sudhanshu Kumar Sahu, son of Natabar Sahu of Trilochanapur village under Baro gram panchayat.
According to Nikirai police station IIC Kiran Hembrum, Sahu on Sunday night was in his house when some of his driver friends near his house telephoned him to come outside and accompany them to see a record dance that was being organised at Siddha Akhaya Bata Mahapurusha Mutt on the Cuttack-Chandbali road. Sahu obliged. But a few hours later, Sahu was found in a field in a critical condition. He had been attacked with a sharp weapon. The villagers then rushed Sahu to the District Headquarters Hospital for treatment, where he died.
Sahu’s brother Santosh on Monday lodged an FIR at the Nikirai police station alleging that his brother was killed by his friends. Police sent the body for autopsy and conducted an enquiry. Nobody was arrested.
