Mob targeted the Sarpanch’s house in Phulta village, located under Ganjam district’s Gosani Nuagagan police station. Fortunately, the bomb attack caused no injuries.
Late last night, five assailants rode into the village on bikes and hurled two bombs at the Sarpanch’s residence. While the bombs exploded, the Sarpanch’s family members escaped unharmed but now live in fear.
Authorities are investigating whether political enmity or another motive prompted the attack. In response, police deployed one platoon of security forces to the village to ensure safety.
