The deceased was identified as Chandan Kumar Swain of Kendrapara's Hindulia. Swain, police said, was allegedly murdered by his friend Ashish Singh (22) of Mayurbhanj's Jambani village.
Ashish was arrested along with his associate Karama Singh by Baripada sadar police on Friday. The matter came to light after locals discovered Chandan's half-burnt body and alerted police about the matter on Thursday.
