In a concerning incident in Bhubaneswar, the law and order situation has once again been highlighted as a police constable and a Home Guard were attacked by an intoxicated man. This incident took place in a slum cluster under the jurisdiction of Mancheswar police station, just after midnight on Thursday. The perpetrator, identified as Deepak Naik, was eventually apprehended and is now facing charges under several sections of the BNS (Bhubaneswar-Nayagarh-Sunabeda) provisions.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police Pinak Mishra, the constable, Gopi Sabar, sustained wounds on his chest, while Home Guard Abdul Sarfaraj suffered minor injuries on his leg. Thankfully, they are both expected to recover. However, the attack did not stop there. Three locals who came to the aid of the officers were also injured in the chaos caused by the knife-wielding assailant.
Mishra explained that the officers were responding to a distress call at around 1am on Friday, reporting a drunk man causing terror in Sriram Nagar slums with a knife. Upon arrival, they attempted to arrest Deepak, but he tried to escape. In the process, Sabar gave chase, and that's when the perpetrator turned around and stabbed him, causing severe bleeding. Sarfaraj, who came to Sabar's rescue, also got injured while trying to disarm Naik. The scuffle that ensued also caused minor injuries to three locals who tried to assist the officers.
Deepak was brought before a local court on Friday for remand by the Mancheswar police. This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by law enforcement officers in their line of duty and the need for better safety measures to protect them. The authorities are working diligently to ensure that justice is served and such incidents are prevented in the future.
