A youth who travelled about 100 km on scooter with the body of a college girl and fled after dumping it has been arrested in Odisha’s Jajpur district.
The video of the duo riding with the body of the girl was captured on CCTV.

On January 24, the girl went to Bhubaneswar, saying she wanted to attend a birthday celebration. She boarded a bus headed to her village on January 26.
However, the girl got off the bus on the way, complaining of stomach pain, and went with her friend (Rakesh Swain) to an undisclosed location.
