As a last resort, his wife was forced to part with her necklace in exchange for Rs 15,000.Following this, Chandan along with his friend Tapan Jena purchased two bicycles for Rs 5,000 each and left Karnataka for their hometown, Basudevpur, which falls in the Bhadrak district.The social workers, meanwhile, made arrangements for food and drinking water for the trio and also arranged a pick-up truck that would take them to their native place.( With inputs from ANI )
