A shocking incident unfolded near the Kamakshanagar Upazilapal office in Dhenkanal district. Bipin Naik from Indipur village attempted to douse himself with petrol in desperation.
Bipin, a 40-year resident of Indipur, faced persistent harassment from an influential individual who built a house on registered land behind Bipin’s government-allotted PM Housing Scheme home.
Despite court orders, Bipin struggled to access his own land due to the encroachment. Authorities and police forcibly evicted him, demolishing a portion of his rice house.
Seeking justice, Bipin approached the Upazilapal’s office but attempted self-immolation. Locals intervened, and police promptly arrested Bipin, taking him into custody.
