The police on Sunday arrested two journalists for abetment to suicide of a 50-year-old man whom they allegedly framed in a false rape case in Odisha’s Kendrapara district, an officer said.<\/p>\n

A woman, who was in complicity with the two in levelling the rape charge against the victim, is at large.<\/p>\n

The 50 -year-old man from a village under Patkura police station hanged himself from a tree on Thursday after being accused of raping the woman, the officer said.<\/p>\n

The police found a suicide note in which he blamed the two journalists and a 31-year-old woman for his death. The woman, prompted by the accused duo, had lodged a rape case against the victim.<\/p>\n

Police swung into action after his wife filed a police complaint against the three, holding them responsible for her spouse’s death.<\/p>\n

A local court remanded the two – journalists of a private television channel and a YouTube channel – to judicial custody after rejecting their bail application.<\/p>\n

The police are searching for the woman, the third accused in the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
