The OAS Association had launched a state-wide casework agitation demanding the arrest of Pradhan for his alleged link in the attack on Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) Additional Commissioner Ratnakar Sahoo on Monday.

The Association even had submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi via Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja seeking the BJP leader’s arrest.
