Bhubaneswar: The medical representative of a pharmaceutical company was allegedly killed by two of his co-workers over past enmity in Odisha’s Rourkela city today.

The deceased has been identified as Bhagirathi Swain of Nuagaon under Erasama police limits in Jagatsinghpur district.

As per reports, Swain had reached Rourkela for some work yesterday. His body was found in a pool of blood near Rourkela civic township today.
