Bhubaneswar: A worker of ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) was killed in Odisha’s Ganjam district, a police officer said Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Madhusudan Bisoi.
“When Bisoi was going through the Nandini bridge at Sheragada, four people suddenly intercepted him and attacked his head with strong plastic pipes. Later, they threw him off the bridge. Bisoi’s head again hit a concrete wall under the bridge, which resulted in his death Saturday,” Sheragada Inspector-in-Charge Satyajit Benia told PTI over phone.
As per preliminary investigation, Bisoi was murdered over past political rivalry with his political opponents. He said.
A murder case has been registered in this regard and the body sent for post-mortem.
Two persons have been arrested in this connection, Benia said.
