Lockdown: Cops attacked during patrolling

Tuesday, 31 March 2020 | PNS | BHADRAK

Strict enforcement of COVID-19 lockdown took an ugly turn in Chandbali of Bhadrak district when a youth attacked on-duty police personnel during patrolling on Monday.

However, the youth was later arrested and produced before court.

Sources said that an enforcement team headed by Additional Tehsildar Prashant Maharana had gone to Chandbali NAC for patrolling in the morning. Finding a few youths roaming on the road at Baligaon Chhak, the cops reprimanded them and asked them to get back to their homes. When they did not pay attention to the police personnel’s instruction, the cops got off their PCR van to take further action.

When three youths ran away, one named Ramesh Das started hitting the cops with a wooden plank. Two police personnel, including a Constable, were injured in the attack.  Later, the cops retaliated and caught hold of the youth, who was also injured in the incident. The cops later admitted him to a hospital for treatment.

The Additional Tehsildar lodged a police complaint, following which the youth was arrested and produced before court, said SDPO  Uma Shankar Maharana.
