Cuttack: The Commissionerate police has formed two special teams to nab the assailants in the firing incident on Sunday in which a foreign liquor shop owner was killed at Brahmanajharilo under Sadar police limits.

Informing this to the media, Cuttack deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Sanjeev Arora said, “Two special teams have been constituted and they are conducting raids at several places to apprehend the accused. A case has been registered at Sadar police station in this regard.”

The DCP stated that the miscreants had kept a close watch on the activities of the deceased.
