The bees attacked the protestors after somebody reportedly disturbed the hive in the nearby area.

However, the Congress workers returned to continue their protest again after the bee attack subsided. They shouted slogans demanding the arrest of Sethi.

Some of the protestors were detained by police as they tried to break into the official residence of Sethi by climbing and jumping the barricades.

“Many blacklisted companies were given tenders during the tenure of BJD. We urge the Mohan Majhi government to arrest Bishnupada Sethi immediately for his involvement in the Rs 10 lakh bribery case. Where is he hiding? Why is he not appearing before CBI despite summons? We also demand the arrest of Minister Nityananda Gond for the corruption,” said a protesting Congress leader.
