Bhubaneswar: Mancheswar police in Bhubaneswar on Friday arrested another 57 people, including 54 women, for their alleged involvement in a clash that broke out on October 26 between two groups at Padmakesharipur village in Patia.
“They were nabbed during a raid in the locality and will be forwarded to court after medical examination,” said a police officer.
