A 57-year-old man was on Thursday allegedly abducted and strangled to death in a running car in Jharkhand's Seraikela-Kharswan district, a senior police officer said.
The incident happened within the limits of Rajnagar police station, he said, adding that two persons were detained in connection with the incident.
After committing the crime around 10.30 am on Thursday, the abductors dumped the body of Dr B Mandal near Bhalki forest under the jurisdiction of Kowali police station in East Singhbhum district, the Superintendent of Police (SP) of Seraikela-Kharswan, Mukesh Kumar Lunayat, said.
