Odisha Police have arrested two persons in connection with the rape and murder of a woman in Paradip, Jagatsinghpur Superintendent of Police Ankit Verma said.

The search operation was conducted by a Vigilance team led by two Additional Superintendents of Police (Addl SPs), five Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs), eight inspectors, and other supporting officers and staff.

The exercise aimed to curb smuggling, prevent illegal intrusion, and enhance preparedness for various coastal emergencies, ensuring an effective and coordinated emergency response under the supervision of the Coast Guard Commander.
