Bhubaneswar: An artiste couple has suffered injuries in an attack by a co-actor after an opera show at Hinjili in Ganjam district on Sunday.

The injured identified as Sanjay and his wife Suhasini (name changed) have been admitted to hospital in critical condition in Berhampur.

Though the exact reason behind the attack is unclear, it is suspected that the couple was attacked by a co-actor of Parbati Gananatya group Sushant Sahoo over some past dispute.

Sources said, Sushant stabbed Sanjay and his wife early this morning following a heated altercation with them after the show on Saturday night.

“For the last two months, the accused was sending offensive messages to my wife and the matter was resolved amicably. However, yesterday he misbehaved with my wife during the show and attacked us with knife today,” said Sanjay.

The manager of the opera has lodged a complaint against the accused while police have begun investigation in connection with the incident.
