BHUBANESWAR: Success of operation Silent Viper, which had led to the arrest of 1999 Baranga gang-rape case’s main accused Bibekananda Biswal last month, buoyed the commissionerate police to arrest fugitive Bikram Aditya Jena, an accused in the 2008 murder of famous music director Sumant Mohanty. Negligence by Mancheswar police over a decade had helped Bikram to evade arrest.
The special squad’s assistant commissioner of police Sanjeev Satpathy and his team received specific input about Bikram hiding in Bhubaneswar for the last few days. Bikram, who did diploma in computer engineering in Hyderabad, had fled to Pune after allegedly committing the ghastly crime on October 9, 2008. The case’s prime accused Manas Ranjan Vedanta and three others Sushil Samantray, Sushil Jena and Subhakant Jena were arrested on October 11, 2008 and are currently on bail.
