A heated land dispute in Puri district has led to the tragic deaths of Ravi Swayen and his son, Prakash Swayen. The conflict began as an argument between Ravi and a neighbour in Samagra village, under the jurisdiction of Penthakta Marine Police Station, and quickly escalated into a violent confrontation.
Late last night, both families became embroiled in a physical altercation that included a stabbing. During the clash, Ravi, Prakash, and an individual from the opposing family sustained severe injuries.
Authorities rushed the injured to Puri District General Hospital, where Prakash died shortly after arrival, and Ravi succumbed to his injuries the following morning. Police have since detained two individuals connected to the incident and are conducting further interrogations as part of the ongoing investigation.
