Two persons sustained bullet injuries in a clash between two groups over past enmity near Kuradmal Square here on Monday night.
The injured were identified as Tapas Swain alias Nalinga of Upar Sahi and Baiya Behera of Thengahata in Jabardastipur.
Sources said Tapas suffered bullet injuries in his leg and Baiya in his chest and their conditions were critical. Locals alleged that such miscreants have been continuously creating unrest in the area, but police are deliberately not taking action against them.
Similarly on December 18, a firing incident had occurred in Kumbhar Basti here and the police had seized cartridged from the spot. But the police are yet to identify the culprits or nab them. Locals have demanded that senior police officials intervene and nab the culprits involved in different cases.
