Bhubaneswar, Nov. 24 -- Mystery engulfed Uparbeda village under Saraskana block of Mayurbhanj district after villagers discovered an Alto car submerged in the village pond. The car's registration number revealed it belonged to a lawyer, Gulesh Chandra Gochhayat, who has been untraceable for the past three months.

Police are now investigating how the car ended up underwater, when it sank, and whether foul play is involved.

The incident came to light when villagers spotted a tyre protruding from the water on Monday morning. Suspicious, they alerted others and soon realised an entire car was submerged beneath the surface. Jharpokharia Police reached the spot immediately and pulled the vehicle out of the pond with local assistance.
