BHUBANESWAR: Even as police are yet to make any headway in the burglary that occurred at former OPCC president Niranjan Patnaik’s house in IRC Village area two days back, a similar attempt was allegedly made at another house of the senior Congress leader in the same area on Monday night.
Nayapalli police have arrested a 45-year-old man of Salia Sahi in this connection. DCP Pinak Mishra said the accused is a drug addict. “A case has been registered against him at Nayapalli police station and investigation is underway,” he added.
Sources said some staff saw the intruder and immediately alerted the police who then reached the spot and nabbed him. CCTV footages too, showed the accused entering the house premises.
