The Commissionerate police on Tuesday arrested two persons for allegedly attacking police personnel in the Saheed Nagar police station here on late Sunday night.
The arrestees were identified as Amit Jena and Sibananda Nath. However, the main accused Prakash Tripathy, who led the miscreants, is still on the run and a manhunt has been launched to nab him. Three police teams have been formed to apprehend others involved in the attack. The teams are conducting raids at various locations to nab the attackers, sources said.
As many as four police personnel sustained critical injuries on March 3 after 15 to 20 miscreants attacked the cops, including the IIC and ASI, during night. The miscreants initially attacked three persons, who were detained at the police station in a road accident case. Cops present inside the police station tried to resist the attackers, during which they thrashed four police officials.
The assailants also ransacked the police station by vandalising furniture, CCTV cameras, TV set and flower pots. Police Commissioner Satyajit Mohanty said that no culprit would be spared. Stringent action would be taken against all those involved.
