Sandeep Acharya alias Raja, the key accused in coach Biranchi Das murder case, was brought to Bhubaneswar after two days of his arrest by Orissa Police amidst heavy security. The gangster was flown in by a five-member team headed by Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Suresh Mohapatra which had gone to Panaji to bring him.

A senior official of Police said that after his arrival, Raja was taken to an undisclosed place from the airport, where police personnel in strength had been deployed in a bid to prevent any untoward incident apparently in view of the criminal background of the accused.
