Malkangiri: On Tuesday, 18 people were arrested, including Congress leaders, for allegedly attacking a police station in Odisha's Malkangiri district.
According to sources, a zilla parishad member, block chairman, and Congress workers, as well as several people involved in ganja smuggling, have been arrested in connection with the incident.
According to the sources, when police raided a village in the district's Chitrakonda police station on June 6, the residents fought back. A scuffle broke out as police attempted to disperse them, and some villagers were injured as a result of the police response.
Later, people headed by Congress officials gheraoed the Chitrakonda block office. Following the gherao, they went to the police station and attacked it with stones, causing damage to a vehicle.
The Malkangiri SP, on the other hand, said that the Congress MLA was not there during the attack on the police station.
