Jajpur: BJD leader Pranab Prakash Das’ (Bobby) brother Bhava Prasad Das has been arrested for threatening a businessman. He has been arrested and taken to the SDGM’s residence. Bhava was detained by the Jajpur town police late last night.
Years ago, the Biraja Haat, which was running near the Biraja Temple, was shifted to Sant Madhav for the Biraja Project at the expense of the previous government. However, due to repeated complaints from the traders that business was not going well there, it was decided to bring the haat back to its former location. Over which two groups clashed.
One group wanted the haat to return to its former location, while the other group was opposing it, saying that the Biraja Project was being demolished. While blocking the road against the administration’s decision to shift the haat, the MLA Himanshu Shekhar Sahoo’s vehicle was attacked while it was passing through that road. The police have arrested 10 people in this attack case and sent them to jail.
MLA Himanshu has directly blamed Bobby Das for the attack on him. He has also warned that the law will take its course and all those involved in the attack will be arrested.
