Bhubaneswar: <\/b><\/p>\n
Odisha Police on Friday arrested five persons for allegedly beating to death a 28-year-old Army jawan in Odisha’s Ganjam district.<\/p>\n
The accused had assaulted Army jawan J Dilleswar Patra of Kalipalli near Haripur in the district on Sunday, police said, adding that he succumbed to injuries at a private hospital in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The victim was posted at Pannagada in West Bengal’s Durgapur district, police said.<\/p>\n
The arrested persons were identified as J Kalyani Patra (19), Ch Sekhar Patra (23), B Cheneya Patra (26) of Kalipalli, B Bulu Patra (26) and Ch Vicky Patra (26) of Jagannathpur. Two motorcycles and two mobile phones were seized from them, police said.<\/p>\n
Previous enmity between two groups in the village was said to be the reason for the incident, Ganjam SP Jagmohan Meena said.<\/p>\n
Mr Meena said there was a quarrel between two groups in the village during the immersion procession of Lord Ganesh a few months ago. While Dilleswar led one group, Sekhar, one of the accused, headed the other. According to Meena, Dilleswar also allegedly abused another accused a few days ago.<\/p>\n
According to police, Dilleswar was here on leave around 10 days ago. On December 3, he was on way to Gopalpur to watch a cricket match. After the match, there was a heated exchange between few of the accused and the victim.<\/p>\n
While returning, the accused allegedly assaulted him. With critical injuries, he was first admitted to MKCG Medical College and Hospital here and then shifted to a private hospital in Bhubaneswar, where he died during treatment, police said.<\/p>\n
Police said investigation was on to find out if any more people were involved in the murder.\u00a0
