Jajpur: In a dramatic development in the case of two women being allegedly misbehaved in Odisha's Jajpur district, one of the accused reportedly tried to end his life by consuming the fruit of oleander plant.

As per reports, a police team raided the house of Anil Jena, the accused, last night to apprehend him, during which he took the extreme step.

He was rescued by police and admitted to the Jajpur District Headquarters Hospital for treatment.

Efforts were on by the police to trace and arrest another accused, identified as Nitesh Jena.

On the other hand, Anil claimed he had no involvement in the misbehaviour case.

"I have been falsely implicated in the case. I had no other option but to take the extreme step. I don't know the woman. As I am accused in the case, I will lose my job. My life is spoiled," said Anil.

"There was only a tussle between the woman's brother and us (Anil and Nitesh) over a dispute. No one misbehaved with the woman. The allegations are baseless," he added.

As per reports, two young women, including a resident of New Delhi, were allegedly misbehaved with by Anil and Nitesh at a village under Dasarathpur police limits in the district on Sunday night. They allegedly passed lewd remarks at the two women.
