The city police have arrested three persons on the charge of assaulting one Mukesh Sahu with broken beer bottles near Matihandi Hotel on Station Road in the city on October 8.
The three accused were identified as Manoj Das alias Peta, Bibek Das alais Babul and Siba Das. The police have seized the beer bottles which were used to attack Mukesh, said Brahamapur Sarvan Bibek M.
The arrests were made after a probe on the basis of a FIR filed by Manok Kumar Sahu, father of Mukesh.
In the complaint, it was alleged that while Mukesh was returning tohis home in Hillpatna under the Goasninuagaon police station after duty, Peta abused him in filthy language following which an heated argument ensued.
Subsequently, the accused attacked him with broken beer bottles, following which Mukesh suffered injuries on his face and other parts of the body. Later, he was rushed to the MKCG Medical College Hospital here.
However, during investigations it was ascertained Mukesh, his brother Asish and father had assaulted Bibek’s bother Ritik at Nehru Park in 2020 over which a case is pending. So, the three accused attacked Mukesh in retaliation for that, the SP said.
