Miscreants misbehave with coast guard officer

BHUBANESWAR: Close on the heels of an army officer and his fiancee being reportedly attacked by a group of drunkards in the Pathargadia area of the capital city, two persons in an inebriated state allegedly hurled abuses and made obscene gestures at a senior Indian Coast Guard officer and his wife on Thursday evening in what is believed to be an incident of road rage.

In his complaint with Nayapalli police, the DIG-ranked officer stated that he was travelling with his wife in his car and waiting near Behera Sahi traffic post to take a U-turn when two youths on a two-wheeler stopped in front of the vehicle.
