Bhubaneswar, Jan 24 (IANS) Two Russian nationals have been detained for suspicious activities in the state, police said Saturday.

Police in Odisha's Cuttack district detained them Friday evening and took them to Puri for further questioning Saturday.

Vasil Lu Fair and Maratha Galimura stayed in Puri for four days. They had come to Puri from Mumbai with a tourist visa. They had air tickets for Bangkok for Jan 26.
