While around 30 BJP workers, including former MP Rudranarayan Pany were detained, the clashes still broke out because of the intervention of BJD workers.
Angul SP Kavita Jalan was arrested in the scuffle when she was trying to calm down the aggressive BJD workers, who were thrashing the BJP protesters. Earlier, BJD workers had beaten up BJP cadres at Manamunda in Boudh yesterday, drawing widespread criticism across the state.
