The investigation into a reported road accident in the Keshura area has taken a new turn after CCTV footage allegedly showed a car hitting people and parked motorcycles following an altercation at a roadside dhaba, according to a report by Odisha Post. Three people were reportedly injured and seven two-wheelers damaged in the incident.
The report said the incident followed a dispute between the car driver and employees of the dhaba. After the alleged altercation, the driver reportedly drove the vehicle into people and motorcycles and then tried to leave the spot.
People at the scene allegedly stopped the driver and assaulted him before police took him into custody for further investigation. The report identified the police as Bargarh police, although it described the incident as having occurred in Bhubaneswar’s Keshura area. This location and jurisdiction detail could not be independently established from the supplied material.
The emergence of CCTV footage is expected to form part of the investigation into the sequence of events, including the alleged altercation, the vehicle’s movement through the area and the damage caused to parked motorcycles. However, the supplied report did not provide details of the footage, the vehicle, the accused person or the injured individuals.
The report also did not include an official statement from the police, details of the sections of law invoked, or information about whether the accused had been formally arrested or detained. The identities and medical condition of the three injured people were not immediately available.
The incident highlights the public-safety risks that can arise when disputes near roadside commercial establishments escalate into vehicle-related violence. In such settings, parked two-wheelers, pedestrians and people gathered around food outlets can be exposed to sudden traffic movements, while the absence of immediate official information can make it difficult to establish the precise sequence of events.
Further confirmation is required from the relevant police authority on the location, jurisdiction, arrest, injuries, property damage and the evidentiary status of the CCTV footage. Odisha Post reported that the investigation was continuing.
