Jeypore: Three people have been arrested for reportedly harassing and looting couples outside the Chikapar Shiva shrine in Odisha's Koraput district's Semiliguda block.

Dhuniya Machalipadia, Sanjaya Kadam, and Ghenu Mach of Chikapar village have been named as those arrested.

According to police sources, the suspects detained a youth and his girlfriend on their way home from the Shiva temple on Friday on a two-wheeler and demanded Rs 5,000.
