In another broad daylight dacoity incident, four miscreants looted over Rs 2 lakh from a Gram Rozgar Sevak (GRS), Debendra Sahu, near village Damkipali under the Patnagarh police station on Saturday evening.
According to reports, when Sahu was going to disburse old age pension, he was stopped near Damkipali by four persons, who came by two motorcycles and looted the money from his motorbike dickey.
The incident has raised many questions to be answered: Why police protection was not taken for disbursement of money for purposes like old age pension; why the looters left Sahu’s mobile phone untouched; and why Sahu’s motorcycle was found undamaged a few km away.
“We are looking into all the aspects of this incident,” said Inspector-in-charge of Patnagarh police station Antaryami Behera to this correspondent over phone.
