    Odisha man killed on Diwali for bursting crackers

    In a tragic incident, a youth in Odisha was hacked to death over bursting firecrackers on Diwali. Amaresh Nayak was bursting firecrackers in Bhubaneswar's Sundarpada area on Sunday night when a group of people tried stopping him, and attacked him with sharp weapons. Separately, two other people died in Odisha in Diwali-related incidents while six people, including four children, were injured.

    Group of 20 attacked Nayak with sharp weapons

    Reportedly, Nayak was feasting and bursting firecrackers with a bunch of people on Diwali when another group of 20 armed people showed up and opposed the celebrations. An argument ensued which escalated into a clash. The armed group attacked the revelers with sharp weapons and Nayak was critically injured. He was rushed to the Capital Hospital where the doctors declared him brought dead.

Sethi added, "Raghua, a youth among them brandished a gun at us while two others, Kuna and Babul attacked us with sharp weapons. I somehow managed to escape the spot and informed the matter to Amaresh's family."
