More than 300 people allegedly attacked the police station at the headquarters of the district's Narayanpatna block to protest against frequent police patrolling in their area, considered a hotbed of Maoist activities.

Two persons were killed when the police opened fire to disperse the mob.

"A mob of about 300 people attacked the police station and tried to loot weapons. Two people have been killed when police opened fire at them to disperse them," Deputy Inspector General of Police Sanjeeb Panda said.
