|April 21, 2025
SAMBALPUR police on Sunday arrested three persons in connection with the brutal murder of a truck driver whose dismembered skeletal remains were found buried at a brick kiln near Lodapada village in Jamankira earlier this month.
Briefing the media, Sambalpur SP Mukesh Bhamoo said on April 10, villagers of Lodapada spotted bones of a leg, still clad in trousers, protruding from a ditch at a local brick kiln. Subsequently, a local lodged a formal complaint with Jamankira police.
During the course of investigation, police identified the deceased as Jahinder Yadav (31), a truck driver of Laxmipur village in Bihar's Jamui district. Bhamoo said Yadav's murder was orchestrated by Muna Allam (26), a fellow truck driver of Bihar, with the help of Ganesh Jaiswal (48) of Bareipali in Sambalpur and Sangram Naik (43), owner of the brick factory where the body was buried.
