The Odisha Police have detained a truck driver, Prasanna Jenamani, in connection with the deaths of BJP leaders Debendra Nayak and Muralidhar Chhuria. The incident took place on NH 53 under Burla police limits, where the truck reportedly rammed into the leaders’ car multiple times, resulting in their deaths. Initial findings indicate that the collision was intentional rather than accidental, leading investigators to explore the possibility of a premeditated conspiracy.
The detained driver is being interrogated to determine if others were involved in orchestrating the act. Evidence, including eyewitness accounts and CCTV footage, is being analyzed to understand the sequence of events. The case has drawn attention due to its political implications, prompting police to work meticulously to bring the culprits to justice.
