The injured criminal was later shifted to MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Berhampur.
According to police, Benu was involved in the dacoity in the Rushikulya Gramya Bank’s Manitara branch under Buguda police limits. Besides, he has over 10 cases dacoity and loot cases pending at different police stations in Ganjam and Nayagarh districts.
