The accused has been brought to Odisha on a transit remand and was produced before a local court here on June 7. She is currently in judicial custody, a crime branch officer said. Police identified the arrested accused as Anushka Mitra (24), a resident of Durgapur in Bardhaman district. Bhubaneswar, Jun 13 (PTI) Odisha's crime branch has arrested a woman from West Bengal for her alleged involvement in a Rs 75.10 lakh investment fraud case, an official said.

Teen Odisha girl, 2 friends arrested for killing woman who raised her
The motive was allegedly her opposition to the girl's relationship with the two young men and to gain control of her property. According to police, the girl and her friends smothered the woman — identified as 54-year-old Rajalaxmi Kar — at her rented house in Paralakhemundi town on April 29. Berhampur (Odisha), May 16 (PTI) A class 8 girl student and her two male friends were arrested on Friday in Odisha's Gajapati district for allegedly murdering a woman who had adopted the girl after rescuing her from a roadside when she was just three days old, a police officer said. After committing the crime, the accused fabricated a story claiming Rajalaxmi had died of a heart attack. The next day, April 30, they cremated her body in Bhubaneswar, where some of her relatives resided. Due to Rajalaxmi's history of heart disease, her family, including her brother, believed the fabricated story, Gajapati SP Jatindra Kumar Panda said. The truth came to light when the girl's uncle found her hidden mobile phone in Bhubaneswar, which contained Instagram Messenger chats with the two co-accused detailing their plan to murder Rajalaxmi and loot over 70 grams of gold ornaments along with Rs 60,000 in cash. Following the discovery, Siba Prasad Mishra, the deceased's brother, lodged an FIR at Paralakhemundi police station last Wednesday. A police investigation led to the arrest of the three accused — temple priest Ganesh Rath (21), Dinesh Sahu (20), both from Paralakhemundi, and the deceased's 13-year-old adopted daughter. Police said Rajalaxmi had adopted the girl after rescuing her as an abandoned infant in Bhubaneswar. After the girl got admission at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Paralakhemundi, the two shifted there and were staying in a rented house. Recently, the girl developed a relationship with Rath and Sahu, which her mother opposed. Rath allegedly instigated the girl to murder Rajalaxmi to seize her property and continue their relationship. On the evening of April 29, the girl reportedly administered sleeping pills to Rajalaxmi. Once she was unconscious, she summoned her two friends, who smothered the woman with pillows. They later took her to a hospital, where she was declared dead, police added. Before the murder, the girl had given some of Rajalaxmi's gold ornaments to Rath, who pawned them at a private finance company for around Rs 2.4 lakh. He reportedly used the money to buy a motorcycle and travel across the state. During investigation, police recovered three mobile phones containing incriminating Instagram chat messages, two pillows used in the murder, and around 30 grams of the looted gold ornaments, police added.
