Bhubaneswar, Jan 9 (SocialNews.XYZ) The commissionerate police in Odisha on Monday arrested 34 people for ransacking the property of a bar and restaurant in Bhubaneswar on Saturday night, an official said on Monday.
According to the police, Sanjiv Swain, a students' union leader affiliated to a political party, along with his few friends went to the Embassy bar-cum-restaurant on Saturday midnight at around 12 a.m.
