A pedestrian, Fakir Charan Palai, from Jagannathpur village in the Kujang area died on the spot in a road accident near the Kujang bazaar on Cuttack-Paradip State Highway on Saturday night.
A speeding bus ran over him when he was returning home. After the incident, hundreds of villagers held a roadblock. The police rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control.
The police were yet to trace the bus and its driver.
In another incident, an Excise Constable, Gagan Ray (52), who had sustained injuries in a road accident at Tirtol on Cuttack-Paradip State Highway two days ago, died at a private hospital in Cuttack on Saturday night.
