A delegation of Ganam BJP led by its former district president Kanhu Charan Pati met the DIG Police (Southern Range) here on Wednesday and submitted a memorandum protesting the recent attempt made by some miscreants to attack on the district president of the party and BJP leader Bibhuti Bhusan Jena on the wee hours of July 18 in which Jena fortunately escaped unhurt. The incident has created panic among the locals and party workers.
Jena lodged a FIR at Golanthara Police Station in this regard.
The police seized weapons and a pulsar bike which was lying near Ishaneswar Temple and started an investigation which is in progress, sources said.
While some locals attribute the incident to possible theft, but the supporters of Jena described the incident as a clear and well planned conspiracy to eliminate Jena and demanded stern action against the miscreants. Meanwhile, Pati warned of stir by the BJP if the miscreants were not brought to book soon.
