A man in Bhubaneswar was killed by attackers on bikes, and three suspects have been apprehended.
In a shocking turn of events, a man was brutally murdered by a group of bike-borne miscreants near the Rasulgarh Flyover in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday, according to the police. The incident has caused an uproar in the city, especially since it is currently under tight security for the upcoming Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention.

The victim was identified as Sahadev Nayak, a resident of Kedarpalli slum and an employee of the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation. He was also known for his active involvement in social work and served as the president of the BMC Safai Karmachari Association. The incident took place around 8 am when Nayak was on his way to work, after dropping off his daughter at school.

Eyewitnesses reported that the miscreants, who were following Nayak on their bikes, attacked him with a sword on the railway overbridge near Rasulgarh square. They then fled the scene, leaving Nayak in a pool of blood. The police were immediately informed and they rushed Nayak to the hospital, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries.

The police have launched an investigation into the case based on a complaint filed by Nayak's wife. She has alleged that her husband was targeted by some residents of their slum who were involved in the illegal drug trade. Apparently, Nayak had been vocal about his opposition to this trade and had even volunteered as a 'Police Mitra' to help keep the area free from crime and drug smuggling.

The Opposition Biju Janata Dal has criticized the state government for the deteriorating law and order situation, especially since the murder took place just a few kilometers away from the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas venue. However, the Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan has assured that the perpetrators will be caught and punished severely.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pinak Mishra, has also spoken to the media about the progress in the case. He revealed that two main accused, who are also residents of Kedarpalli slum, have been identified and a special team has been formed to apprehend them. Three other suspects have been detained for questioning, and initial investigations suggest that the attack may have been motivated by past conflicts between the victim and the accused.

This heinous crime has left the city in shock and has raised concerns about the safety and security of its citizens. The police are working diligently to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.
