Politics and public outrage intensified in Odisha’s Bargarh district after a black XUV was vandalised in Bardol village following a road accident in which a woman lost her life. Reports claim the son of a local MLA was inside the vehicle, though the MLA has denied this.
Police registered an FIR against 25 named residents and 20 unidentified persons, but details about the vehicle occupants remain unclear. The incident sparked protests demanding speed breakers, and viral videos of the attack have fueled speculation and calls for accountability. Authorities are yet to clarify the exact circumstances.
