Koraput: Three college students were arrested and two minors detained on Saturday, within 24 hours of the murder of a 19-year-old college student in Jeypore town police limits of Koraput district. Of the two children in conflict with the law (CCLs), one is a college student and brother of one of the adult accused, while the other recently appeared in Class X exam.Victim Debasish Kishan Kuldeep, a resident of Kebidi village under Jeypore Sadar police station limits, was a second-year degree student of Borigumma College, while police said the adult accused — Jaga Harijan (20), Dinesh Takiri (20) and Chandra Kanta Harijan (18) — are the students of Vikram Dev University.According to the police, a case was registered at Jeypore town police station following a complaint alleging that Kuldeep was wrongfully restrained and stabbed on Friday. A special team was subsequently formed. “Based on the complaint, CCTV camera footage was analysed to establish the identities of the attackers.
