Naik had gone missing since the evening of April 5.

“We have detained a person in this case and are now interrogating him,” said PK Jena, IIC, Town Police Station, Sundargarh.

They then dialed his parents who live in Bailsmauja, Cuttack and asked about Durgasish’s whereabout but since they had no idea about him, they immediately came to Sundargarh and lodged a missing report in Town police station.

Acting on a tip-off on Friday afternoon, Town police team of Sundargarh, accompanied by a dog squad and a scientific team, went near Dharuadih railway station and dug a place in which Subhasis’s body was found. There were injury marks on his body and head. Circumstances suggested that he had been buried after being killed.
