The incident took place at D D Ghat near Laxmipur, 55 km from Koraput, said SDPO Y J Rao.

As it was raining heavily, the police could not reach the spot, he added.

The ultras continue to block roads connecting Narayanpatna-Bandhugaon and Bandhugaon-Parvatipuram as part of their agitation, organised to protest the special anti-Maoist operation in southern Orissa districts comprising Malkangiri and Koraput.
