Cuttack: Tension prevailed at Gobindpur area in Cuttack district on Friday after an irate mob staged a road blockade demanding the arrest of the culprits in the murder of a youth.
Vehicular traffic on the busy Gobindpur-Cuttack road was disrupted for several hours owing to the blockade.

However, raids are being conducted at Gobindpur, Sadar and Niali areas to trace and nab the accused persons, the officer said.
