The accused were identified as Pabitra Sahoo and Soumya Ranjan Sahoo, residents of the same village.

Notably, Pabitra and Soumya had attacked the girl on Saturday night when she was sleeping in her house. They had slitted the girl's throat with a sharp weapon and gone absconding.

Worth mentioning, Pabitra, who was earlier sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment for slitting a person's throat, had an one-sided love affair with the girl after getting released from jail.

The victim is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital.
