Keonjhar: Tension prevailed in Anandpur area in the district as the political office of Debapriya Patra, elder son of veteran BJD leader and Odisha School & Mass Education Minister Badri Narayan Patra was allegedly vandalised by members of ‘Sana Sena’ on Tuesday afternoon.

Speaking to media persons, Debapriya said, “Members of ‘Sana Sena’ vandalised furniture, computers and other valuables in my office during the lunch hour today. They later set ablaze the office and fled from the spot. ”

“I lodged an FIR at Anandpur police station in this connection,” he added.

According to reports, a group of BJD activists led by Debashis Patra, younger son of Badri Narayan Patra disrupted a blanket distribution drive conducted by Jagat Janani Trust, an NGO headed by Champua MLA Sanatan Mahakud, in Macchalagaon village under Ramachandra police limits in the district on Monday.

Following the incident, a group clash erupted between the supporters of two political leaders yesterday.

Today, over 2000 members of ‘Sana Sena’, a youth brigade owing allegiance to Sanatan Mahakud, staged protest in front of the Anandpur SDPO office to press their demand to arrest the BJD activists including Debashis Patra in connection to the group clash.

Since the police had not taken any action against the ruling BJD activists, members of ‘Sana Sena’ attacked the office of Debapriya Patra to assert their power in the area, said a local with a condition of anonymity.
