Tension prevailed Basudevpur of the district on Saturday after a group of Bibinagar villagers ransacked the Kasia Marine police station alleging inaction of the cops in connection with a feud between two families.
Sources said a scuffle ensued between two families after a newly-wed woman, who had gone to her parental house at Barapokhari, did not return to her in-law’s house at Bibinagar on. On receiving information, police reached the spot and took both the families members to custody to settle the issue amicably. Later, the cops released them.
In the morning, a group clash again erupted between people of the two villages. Later, a group of Bibinagar villagers vandalised the police station damaging several assets, including, computers and a police van. They alleged that the cops are delaying in taking action over the matter.
The police later took control over the situation. Three platoons of police force were deployed in the locality to avoid any untoward incident and more than 50 persons were rounded up for vandalising the police station.
