Bhubaneswar: Deogarh MLA Subash Chandra Panigrahi, who was arrested from Bhubaneswar on Sunday for allegedly assaulting a BDO, fell sick while being taken to be produced in court.

Panigrahi was apprehended from his official quarters in Bhubaneswar following a complaint filed by the Block Development Officer (BDO) of Tileibani block in Deogarh district, Krushnachandra Dalapati, alleging that the MLA and his aides thrashed him mercilessly at Chhepalipali village.

Following the arrest, the MLA was being taken by police to produced him in a court in Deogarh. But on the way, he complained of feeling uneasy and was admitted in community health centre (CHC) at Chhatabar under Riamal block in the district. The doctors examined Panigrahi and administered IV fluid to him as part of treatment. His condition was stated to be stable.

Besides the BJP legislator, police have arrested two others, identified as Akalu Dhal and Kumarmani Sahoo, who were alleged involved in the attack on the BDO.

According to the complaint filed by the BDO at Deogarh police station, he was informed about Panigrahi visiting the former’s office while he had gone on an inspection of a school in Dudihiana panchayat on Saturday.

As Dalapati had to conduct an inquiry at Bhaliagudi village under Chepilipalli panchayat regarding a case in the Orissa High Court, he informed the officials accompanying the MLA that he would meet him after finishing the work.

While the BJP legislator was returning after visiting the BDO office, he met Dalapati near Bhaliagudi and beat and kicked him, resulting in injuries on his face and body.

On the other hand, the MLA had also lodged a counter complaint alleging that the government official misbehaved with him when he had gone to meet him.
