Jagatsinghpur, Feb 20: In a horrific incident, unidentified miscreants forcibly entered the home of Mania Biswal in Ogarpur village, located under Balikuda police jurisdiction in Odisha's Jagatsinghpur district late on Monday night. They viciously attacked Mania, her son Silu, and daughter-in-law, resulting in fatal injuries to Mania while leaving Silu and his wife critically injured.
Upon receiving the information, the Balikuda police rushed to the scene and arranged for Mania Biswal's body to undergo post-mortem examination. Silu and his wife were rushed to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack, where they are reported to be in critical condition.
