Friday, 31 December 2021 | PNS | BHUBANESWAR

Armed miscreants barged into the residence of a BJP leader at Bhotapada under the Mancheswar police station here late on Wednesday night and looted cash and jewellery.

Five dacoits entered into the house of Dinabandhu Das, BJP Bhubaneswar district organisation secretary, and attacked his family members with iron rods and sharp weapons.

They held Das at gunpoint and then thrashed all the family members before decamping with cash of around Rs 3.2 lakh, jewellries and other valuables worth several lakhs.

Das’ wife sustained critical injuries in the attack.

 The miscreants were wearing mask and helmets; thus, it was not possible to identify them. As per preliminary reports, the miscreants involved in this daring dacoity appeared to be teenagers.

Police on Thursday began investigating from various angles to identify the miscreants. A case of dacoity was registered and a hunt was launched to nab the culprits.
