In a disturbing turn of events, two experienced police officers found themselves in harm's way when they were assaulted by a group of furious villagers from Belpal village in the Mayurbhanj district. The altercation stemmed from a disagreement over land ownership on Wednesday. The injured officers were identified as Sudarshan Dash, the SDPO of Betnoti, and Umashankar Nayak, the IIC of Badasahi PS. They were promptly rushed to the PRM Medical College and Hospital in Baripada for treatment.
According to sources, the clash between two parties in the village escalated and resulted in one person sustaining serious injuries. This led to the villagers taking matters into their own hands and staging a road blockade at Belpal Chowk, which is situated on the Badasahi-Betnoti road. The agitated villagers demanded that the accused be arrested immediately for their actions.
Upon receiving word of the situation, the Badasahi BDO and tehsildar arrived at the scene to try and calm down the angry villagers. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain as the villagers remained belligerent. When the police force arrived to clear the road blockade, they were met with hostility and the police van was even damaged. In the chaos, two officers sustained severe injuries.
The Mayurbhanj SP S Susree took charge of the situation and instructed other police officials to closely monitor the area. It was a tense and volatile situation, and the safety of everyone involved was of the utmost importance. The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges that law enforcement officials face on a daily basis while trying to maintain peace and order in society.
