Three youths, including two attackers, were injured in a series of bomb blast at three different places in the district late on Sunday night. Police managed to nab the attackers.
One among the injured, identified as Rajkishore Sahu, was shifted to a hospital in Bhubaneswar in a critical condition. The other two, Balia Panda of Belaghuntha and Ramachandra Hota who allegedly hurled the three bombs, were arrested after preliminary treatment.
According to sources, an unidentified man of Kumanda had threatened Balia over phone following which the latter along with Ramachandra and another associate had come to trace the unknown person in Kumanda.
However after searching the entire day, they could not trace the man.
Enraged over it, the trio indiscriminately started hurling bombs on roads in Odagaon, Ranganipatana and Kumunda area in the district injuring Rajkishore, who was passing by the spot at that time. Balia and Ramachandra also sustained injuries while hurling the bombs. Meanwhile, police are interrogating the duo after arresting them to unearth more information.
