BHANJANAGAR: 23/05 (Report- Jayakrishna Patnaik): The historic Thakurani Yatra festival in Bhanjanagar recently came to a peaceful close. However, a sudden clash between two local groups disrupted the town. The incident happened late at night on May 17. The local police took the matter very seriously. They arrested four individuals from both groups involved in the conflict. Ganjam Superintendent of Police, Shubhendu Kumar Patra, directed the local officers to take strict action against the guilty individuals. 
The police forwarded the four arrested men to the local court today. The authorities identified the men as Mohammad Imran from NAC Road, Deepak Mohanty from Nahatutha Sahi, Arun Behera from Trimurti Sahi, and Yashwant Swain from Bhejiput Adua Sahi. The police registered four separate cases regarding this conflict based on reports from both sides.
The trouble started at the Bhanjanagar bus stand. Mohammad Imran was standing there alone. Deepak Mohanty and his friends approached Imran. They started an argument and pushed him. Imran chose to walk away because he was alone. He did not fight back at that time.
Later that night, the situation grew worse. Imran gathered a friend and visited Deepak Mohanty's house. Imran shouted at Mohanty's family members and issued severe threats. Imran then learned that Mohanty was at the local municipality office. Imran and his friend went to the office, confronted Mohanty, and started a physical fight.
Arun Behera and his friends heard about the fight at the office. They rushed to the location and attacked Imran and his friend. Imran felt scared for his safety. He left his motorcycle and mobile phone behind and ran away from the scene.
The conflict did not end there. A short time later, Deepak Mohanty, Arun Behera, and a large group of young men gathered together. They went to Imran's house. The group damaged property, spoke rudely to his wife, and left warning messages. After that, the group moved to the house of another resident named Ashok Pradhan. They broke the front door and damaged items inside the house. They looked for Ashok, shouted threats at him, and then quickly left the area.
Inspector in Charge (IIC) Jibanananda Jena shared an update on the ongoing investigation. He stated that the police are actively searching for the remaining suspects involved in the property damage. Furthermore, the police are investigating a separate, recent attack on the house of Municipality Chairman Gopabandhu Mohapatra. The police chief promised to arrest those culprits very soon. The authorities have increased their presence in the area to maintain law and order.
