💨 Abstract

A court in Odisha's Bolangir district concluded the hearing for the 2018 Patnagarh wedding gift blast case, with the verdict expected on May 28. The blast, which killed two people including the groom, occurred when he opened a gift packet. The prosecution presented circumstantial evidence against Punjilal Meher, an English lecturer accused of the crime. The defense argued there were gaps in the investigation and insufficient evidence.
