JAMSHEDPUR – In a shocking incident, a violent mob armed with sharp weapons attacked a drug de-addiction center in Mango, near the Ulidih police station on Mango Dimna Road.
The mob left the center in shambles, injuring workers and causing damage to nearby businesses and vehicles.
Numerous attackers stormed the de-addiction center, using sticks, rods, and hammers to assault three staff members.
The violence quickly spread to nearby shops and hotels, where the mob damaged property and assaulted individuals, including a tempo driver and street vendors.
When police arrived to control the situation, they were also attacked by the mob and had to temporarily retreat.

The timely intervention of Patamda DSP helped bring the situation under control.
The injured were taken to MGM Hospital for treatment.
