The Paradip Town Congress Committee has given the local police an ultimatum of 10 days to arrest the accused persons involved in the bomb blast incident at the party office at Madhuban here June 26.
The Congress members also threatened to protest against the negligence of the local police, if they fail to arrest the culprits by the deadline, informed Paradip Town Congress president Ranjan Kumar Das at a press meet here on Friday.
On June 26, two motorcycle-borne youths hurled two handmade grenades at the Congress office. Though, the party leaders had appraised the district SP about this and also sent a memorandum to the DGP, the local police have remained as mute spectators, added Das.
The party members also alleged that that to hide the criminals the police claimed that the incident is the result of a business rivalry between Pramod Kishore Jena and his competitors. Among others, Kujang block Congress president Santosh Kumar Das, secretary Biswanath Pani, Youth Congress president Manoj Behera and PCC member Pramod Kishor Jena were present.
