Four local journalists in Odisha were recently arrested for their alleged involvement in a dacoity case along with one other person.

Police in Bhawanipatna have made a major breakthrough in a recent dacoity case with the arrest of five individuals, including four journalists from a local web portal. According to officials, the accused were allegedly involved in intercepting a car belonging to a labour contractor and stealing Rs 2.55 lakh from it on October 2 near Bhangabari, located on the outskirts of Bhawanipatna town in the Kalahandi district.

The incident was brought to light when the contractor filed a written complaint on October 13, prompting the authorities to launch an investigation. After thorough investigation and gathering of evidence, the five suspects were apprehended on Tuesday from Bhawanipatna by the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Sunaram Hembram.

This incident has caused quite a stir in the community, as it involves members of the media being accused of a serious crime. The four journalists, who were arrested alongside the other suspect, were reportedly working for a local web portal. It is highly unusual for individuals working in the media to be involved in criminal activities, and this case has raised many questions and concerns.

The police are currently looking into the motive behind the dacoity and are trying to determine if the accused had any accomplices. The public is urged to come forward with any relevant information that could aid in the investigation. The authorities are determined to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future. This serves as a reminder that no one is above the law and that justice will prevail.
