Bhubaneswar: A BJD youth leader of Bariguda village under Dharakote police limits in Odisha’s Ganjam district was allegedly hacked to death by unidentified miscreants on Friday.
The deceased has been identified as Anil Mohanty.
According to sources, locals spotted Anil in a pool of blood at a secluded spot in the locality and informed his family members. Along with his scooter, sharp weapons were found lying near him. Police have recovered the body, which bore grievous injury marks, and initiated an investigation.
Though the reason behind the attack is yet to be ascertained, it is being suspected to be the fallout of political dispute that had emerged in the area during the last panchayat polls, the sources added.
This comes four days after a 22-year-old man was allegedly hacked to death and his body dumped in a forest area in the district.
