Patnagarh police on Monday detained two persons in connection with the sensational parcel bomb case that killed software engineer Soumya Sekhar Sahu and his grandmother on the spot and injured Sahu’s wife Reema on 23 February.
The police refused to divulge the name of the two persons detained by them but said they belong to Boudh and Subarnapur districts.
They also suspect it to be case of revenge over a love affair as the deceased Sahu had reportedly received threat calls from unknown persons prior to his marriage. He had been warned against marrying Reema.
