Poll violence toll rises to two in Ganjam


BRAHMAPUR: Political rivalry caused violence took another toll in Dihapdhala village under Bhanjanagar block of Ganjam district on Friday. Following the murder of Lulu Gauda, son of a winning independent Sarapanch candidate Pramila Gauda, in a public place in a broad day light due to emergence of violence regarding the polling results, the second murder took place in the same village.

He was identified as Dandapani Bisoyee (58) of Dihapadhala village and father of Manoranjan Bisoyee who was the accused of Lulu Gauda murder case. The police sent the body for autopsy after recovering it from a paddy field near the village. The investigation is on.

Though the police are still in dark about the actual reason of the murder, it is suspected that the supporters of deceased Lulu killed Dandapani to take revenge of Lulu’s murder. The supporters had also attacked on accused Manoranjan’s house and ransacked the house on Thursday evening. Dandapani might be killed by the attackers while ransacking the house, sources said. The miscreants had used sharp weapon to kill Dandapani, the police revealed. 
 
It may be noted that the supporters of the independent candidate Pramila Gauda had burnt houses, rice mill and vehicles of the accused and blocked the road connecting Brahmapur-Bhanjanagar and Brahmapur-Phulbani on Thursday protesting Lulu’s murder. Situations became quite better after the main accused and mastermind of the murder Kulu Bhuyan arrested along with his associates. The police have arrested 14 people in connection with the first murder case till Friday evening.
