Bhubaneswar, 02 April (H.S.): In a major breakthrough in the Choudwar jail break case, a special team of the Commissionerate Police has arrested the second fugitive from Rishikesh, Uttarakhand.

Director General of Police, Yogesh Bahadur Khurania, confirmed the arrest and stated that the accused identified as Raja Sahani, had been living in disguise to evade capture. He is currently being brought back to Odisha on transit remand for further legal proceedings.
