D-link business aide granted bail by HC

Continuing its probe into the twin murder of 2013, in which two estranged associates of mafia Dhalasamant brothers were killed, the police today took an associate of the brothers Arif Khan to the murder spot at a farm house at Athagarh, about 20 kms from here.
Arif Khan, who was working as a sharpshooter for the brothers, was taken on a five-day remand by the police yesterday. Khan (30) was arrested from a location in Tamil Nadu earlier this month.
It is alleged that the D-brothers along with some of his associates had lynched to death two of their former associates - Deepu Mallick and Om Prakash Swain at the farmhouse in November 2013.

Meanwhile, the Orissa High Court today granted bail to one Sudhir Choudhury, an associate of the D-brothers, who was arrested by the city police on February 26.
Sudhir was working as a project coordinator of a construction company and was booked for having alleged business links with the mafia brothers.
Justice J P Das of the HC granted bail to Choudhury on a bail bond of two sureties of Rs 20,000 each. He has been asked not to go out of the state without prior permission of the IO and not to influence the witnesses.
