Four persons were Tuesday arrested for their alleged involvement in the murder of a laboratory attendant of AIIMS-Bhubaneswar, police said.

Sudhanshu Khuntia was shot dead Monday morning when he was on his way to AIIMS-Bhubaneswar.

The prime accused, however, is still absconding, and efforts are underway to nab him, Bhubaneswar ACP Tapas Chandra Pradhan said.

A prolonged land dispute is suspected to be the cause of the murder, Pradhan told reporters.

Khuntia was gunned down around 8 am Monday near Ransinghpur area. Locals shifted him to the AIIMS, where doctors declared him dead, police had said.
