A 15-year-old boy, identified as Firoj Behera, was murdered in the Dhipapada area of Burla, Sambalpur, on a Sunday morning. His body was discovered in an open space between two buildings.
Preliminary investigations suggest the killing resulted from a violent quarrel among a group of youths. Reports indicate the dispute may have been fueled by issues related to drug and substance consumption. Following the incident, two accused individuals surrendered to the Burla police station.
The victim's father, Prakash Behera, filed a complaint after Firoj failed to return home following a night out. Local residents have expressed concern regarding the influence of illegal narcotics and substance abuse on rising juvenile crime in the region. Police have taken the suspects into custody and launched a full investigation to establish the exact motive and sequence of events.
