Brahmapur Mayor Asammitra Dadai reported receiving threatening phone calls and promptly filed a complaint with the police. On the afternoon of the 29th, while at the Metropolitan Corporation office, the mayor answered a call from an unknown number. The caller threatened him using abusive language.
After the mayor lodged his complaint, police investigated the call records and identified the caller as Lalit Mohan Das, a former executive officer of the Brahmapur Municipal Corporation (BMC). Consequently, police registered a case against Lalit Mohan.
Lalit Mohan Das previously held several significant positions within the BMC but recently lost his duties after the discontinuation of the scheme he managed. The community reacted with shock to Lalit’s threatening behaviour, though the motive behind his call remains unclear. Police continue to investigate the incident, while Lalit Mohan has not responded to the allegations.
