A Congress candidate, Saka Sujit Kumar, who was running for the Digapahandi Assembly seat in Odisha's Ganjam district, was taken into custody on Thursday for allegedly assaulting a builder. The incident occurred on Wednesday near the Berhampur police station as a result of a business rivalry.
According to Superintendent of Police Sarthak Sarangi, the alleged assault resulted in injuries to three individuals, including the builder, Sudhansu Sangram Padhy of Sihala. It was reported that Padhy's staff were attacked while working at a plot in Kukudakhandi. In response, Padhy and some of his associates went to the police station to file a FIR. However, it was during this time that the Congress candidate and his men allegedly launched an attack on them.
Kumar's aide, K Amit Kumar, was also arrested along with the candidate. Police believe that the reason for the incident may be related to professional rivalry, as both individuals are involved in the real estate business. The police have launched an investigation into the matter.
The Congress candidate's arrest has caused quite a stir in the political arena, with many people expressing their opinions on the matter. Some believe that this incident has tarnished the party's image, while others argue that it may have been a personal dispute between the two businessmen. As the investigation continues, the truth behind the incident will soon come to light.
