A team of officials from the Commissionerate police left for the native village of Jogendra Bandra, the prime accused in the  murder of a mason inside the CRPF group centre premises here late on Wednesday night, in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha.

The team has been despatched to Mayurbhanj as the first step in the haunt for Bandara. ‘Once we get him, we hope to get a significant lead in the case,” said an officer of the theNayapalli police station.

A 35-year-old mason Braja Kishore Paramanik was hacked to death by Bandra suspecting him of having an extra-martial affair with his wife.

Police sources said the wife of the accused was working under Paramanik, who was a private contractor on the CRPF campus doing construction work, as a daily labourer. They had a love relationship since four years, they added.

The accused used to visit his home occasionally to meet his wife and two children staying in the city.
