Kidnapped brothers found in Karnataka police custody: Berhampore SP
Berhampur, Jul 22: The abduction of two brothers allegedly at gun point from Puintola Chhaka under Ganjam police station limits on Friday night by some unknown men took a new turn after police found the siblings at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh under the custody of Karnataka police, police said.
A police team from White Field police station in Bengaluru picked up Krushna Chandra Sahu (55) and his brother Panchana Sahu (43), the owners of a general shop, allegedly for their involvement in a NDPS case of July 9 in Karnataka. They, however, did not intimate the local police before picking up the duo.
Suspecting they might be kidnapped by some miscreants, Pabitra Kumar Sahu, son of Krushna, lodged a complaint in Ganjam police station, while the local people staged a blockade of NH-16 at Puintola for several hours in the night.
Senior police officers rushed to the spot and tried to convince the agitators. They also formed a police team to trace the kidnapped brother duo.
"Our police team located the duo in Visakhapatnam with Karnataka police. Karnataka police has given in writing that they have been detained in connection with a NDPS case in Whitefield police station in Bengaluru city" said SP (Ganjam) Jagmohan Meena. They are being taken to Karnataka for investigation.
After the police team from Ganjam reached there, the Karnataka police along with two brothers had gone to MPV police station in Visakhapatnam district for further paper works, police said.
Since the Karnataka police did not intimate the local police before detaining them, such an unpleasant situation has taken place, the SP said.
Before taking them into their custody, they were supposed to intimate the local police as per the Supreme Court guidelines, police said.

CJI Surya Kant clarifies 'parasites' remarks, says 'pained' over media reports
New Delhi (PTI): Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday issued a strongly worded clarification on his 'parasites' remarks, saying he was "pained" by media reports that suggested he criticised youth.
"I am pained to read how a section of the media has misquoted my oral observations made during the hearing of a frivolous case yesterday," the CJI said in a statement.
Kant emphasised that his remarks were specifically directed at individuals entering the legal profession through "fake and bogus degrees" and were "misquoted by a section of the media."
The clarification follows a controversy during a hearing on Friday, when the CJI used words like "parasites" and "cockroaches" while pulling up a lawyer for his plea seeking senior designation.
"What I had specifically criticised were those who have entered professions like the Bar (legal profession) with the aid of fake and bogus degrees. Similar persons have sneaked into the media, social media, and other noble professions as well, and hence, they are like parasites.
"It is totally baseless to suggest that I criticised the youth of our nation. Not only am I proud of our present and future human resource, but every youth of India inspires me. It is not an exaggeration to say that Indian youth have great regard and respect for me, and I too see them as the pillars of a developed India," the chief justice said about his remarks.
