Four Arrested for Attack on BJD Leader's Farmhouse

In Odisha, four people were arrested for attacking the farmhouse of a BJD leader named Pranab Balabantaray.

The attack happened on December 14, and 15 people were hurt, with five seriously injured.

The supporters of another politician, Himanshu Sekhar Sahoo, who is backed by the BJP, are said to have done the attack.

After the attack, BJD leaders protested near the DGP’s office in Bhubaneswar, demanding action against Sahoo’s supporters.

Both sides have filed complaints against each other.

The Law Minister said the government is taking action against those who break the law.

Balabantaray claimed this was the fifth attack on him by Sahoo’s supporters in 18 months, while Sahoo alleged that his supporters were attacked by BJD supporters.
