Cuttack: The house of the Sarpanch at Mahakalabasta in Athgarh block of Cuttack district was ransacked by villagers on Monday night over alleged abduction of a youth.
Reportedly, a youth identified as Raju alias Rajendra Kumar Puhan of the village was returning from Athgarh last night when he was allegedly abducted from Dahisara village.
Suspecting it to be a handiwork of the Sarpanch’s son Alok Baliarsingh, who had previous enmity with Raju, villagers entered his house and damaged property worth lakhs of rupees.
While the villagers dispersed on the arrival of Khuntuni Police, they have been staging a road blockade on Purna Cuttack road. A case in this regard has been registered at Athgarh Police Station.
