Sambalpur: In connection with the trafficking of an Odia woman to Rajasthan, the Jujumara Police have arrested two more accused, taking the total number of arrests in the case to six.
A three-member team of the Jujumara Police arrested Manju Ikka and Dasratha Mangaraj from Kota in Rajasthan. Both were produced before a court. While Ikka is a resident of Panposh, Mangaraj hails from Kalahandi district.
