Bhadrak: The self-immolation attempt of an aggrieved woman and her son was foiled before the office of the Superintendent of Police (SP) here today.
They have been identified as Jyotsnarani Patra and her son Panchanan of Belada village under Bhadrak Rural Police Station (PS) limits.
Reports said that they decided to take such a drastic step as they have allegedly been denied justice regarding a land dispute despite having a degree granted by the judicial court.
They alleged that their opposite party has forcibly resorted to building house despite the court’s verdict in their favour following which they have already knocked the doors of the Collector and local police station, but to no avail.
Eventually, they approached the SP’s office and were allegedly denied justice for which they desperately attempted self immolation demanding justice.
Sources said that the police are enquiring into the matter for redressal.
