They were immediately rushed to Balipatna Community Health Centre (CHC) in critical condition. Later the injured were shifted to Capital Hospital here, as their conditions deteriorated.
Sources said that Ramakant developed enmity with some residents of Pradhanpatna villages over a contract signed for some project. He was involved in a bitter argument which turned into an ugly fight with Ranjan regarding the contract. When the three others tried to intervene, Ramakant attacked all of them with a sharp weapon which resulted in all the four sustaining injuries. He then fled the spot.
On being informed, Balipatna police reached the spot and started a probe. A manhunt has been launched to nab the accused Ramakant.
