A 24-year-old beautician, Sarita Sa, was allegedly abducted and strangled by her boyfriend, 27-year-old Anil Pruseth, in Odisha's Sambalpur district. After Sa went missing on Thursday, her family filed a complaint leading to Pruseth's detention.

Another individual, Ashok Kisan, was detained for allegedly transporting them to the site. Investigations continue pending the post-mortem report.
