Locals Beat Up Cops During Raid On Liquor Trader’s House

Konark: Tension ran high at Dahikhia in Puri district on Wednesday when a group of locals allegedly thrashed some police personnel for conducting raid on a liquor trader’s house.

According to sources, officials of Kakatpur police station had gone to raid the house of a person, engaged in illegal liquor trade, at Kendrapati village in the district. However, the police team could not find the liquor seller in his house.

While returning, the cops were waylaid by a mob, who staged a blockade on Astaranga-Kakatpur road by burning tyres.

A scuffle ensued between the cops and the agitators after the former tried to pacify them. The situation took an ugly turn when the agitators started beating up the policemen.

Three police personnel sustained injuries in the attack.
