The attack by Congress workers on a woman policeperson in Bhubaneswar on Thursday has created a furore in the state. Agitated over the Congress supporters' inhuman act, the Odisha Police personnel have threatened to stop work.



A day after the brutal attack on the woman cop, the issue raged in Odisha Assembly on Friday. The House was adjourned till 3 pm as Congress and ruling BJD MLAs came head to head on Thursday's protest and clashes on Coalgate issue.



The merciless beating up of the policewoman by Congress workers was caught on camera as a mob chased her and pushed to the ground before brutally thrashing her.



The protestors also chased and attacked other police personnel who had to be rescued. More than a dozen police personnel were injured as thousands of Congress workers had turned violent.



The Odisha Police has been on the warpath since the attack. They have set a two-day deadline for action against the Congress agitators who viciously attacked the policewoman. They have threatened to stop going on security duties for Congress VIPs if the men responsible were not arrested.



It now remains to be seen whether the Congress owns up and hands over the men who attacked the policewoman. The Congress workers were led by the party's state president Niranjan Patnaik who too was injured in the mayhem. There were more than 40,000 Congress workers and supporters who had tried to storm the Odisha Assembly on Thursday.
