On Thursday, a Government Railway Police (GRP) constable, Soumya Ranjan Swain, was killed by a mob on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, after his motorcycle collided with a scooty carrying two women. The incident occurred near the Ramachandrapur bridge, where an argument ensued, leading the women to accuse Swain and his friend, Om Prakash, of harassment. Local residents intervened, allegedly tying up the men and brutally assaulting them with sticks. Videos of the incident show the mob attacking even in the presence of police. Bhubaneswar Deputy Commissioner of Police, Jagmohan Meena, stated that they are investigating the matter and have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Swain. The injured friend has yet to provide a statement crucial for the investigation. Swain's mother believes that the attack was premeditated, indicating a determined effort to kill her son. Swain also worked part-time as a gym trainer.
