In another such incident, a supervisor of a contractor was severely injured as miscreants opened fire at him at the IOCl Paradip Refinery’s under-construction Plastic Park site here on Saturday.
The injured supervisor Jitendra Pradhan received a bullet on the upper part of his forehead. He was first rushed to a local hospital and, as his condition deteriorated, he was shifted to the SCB Medical College Hospital, Cuttack, sources said.
According to eyewitness, three bike-borne miscreants came and hurled a bomb at the site first. Then, they opened fire at the supervisor and fled from the spot.
While the reason of the attack was yet to be established, police suspected that enemies of the contractor might have committed the crime. Police have started investigation into the incident.
