“We are keeping a close surveillance and constituted a core team comprising senior officials who were part of investigation of old cases related to Hyder and Tito,” said Priyadarshi.
The Police Commissioner further said that a recent photograph of Hyder has been circulated among the SPs of border districts including Balasore and Mayurbhanj apart from the senior officials of neighbouring Kendrapara and Jagatsinghpur districts.
