Bhubaneswar: A 32-year-old man, Sasanka Sekhar Mohanta has been arrested by Sahid Nagar police on charges of duping a girl on the pretext of marriage.
According to reports, Mohanta, a native of Jagatsinghpur is employed with a private company in Bhubaneswar. He lives with his wife and a child at Tankapani Road area.
