Earlier, the BJP Yuva Morcha’s Bhadrak District Unit President Bikash Shrestha was also arrested on charges of inciting communal passion.
A few days ago, Ward No. 15 BJD Councillor Subhankar Mohapatra was arrested on similar charges. However, it came to light that he has become a die-hard Hindu fanatic and supports the cause of VHP and Bajrang Dal instead of following the BJD ideology.
