The incident took place late Sunday night when the 42 Mowza Police Station received a complaint about the abduction of 31-year-old Sumer Anjan Behra.
According to DCP Khilari Rishikesh Dnyandeo, the complaint was filed regarding the abduction of Mr. Samar Anjan Behera, aged 31, by unknown persons. Upon receiving the complaint, immediate action was taken by the local IIC and the special squad, with support from CCTV footage and inquiries with residents.
