The former lawmaker was returning with the cash from his petrol pump at Hirli, located on the outskirts of the district headquarters, while the two bike-borne men intercepted him. When he stopped his car, the men snatched away the bag and fled the spot before anyone could react.

Following this, Nayak lodged a complaint at Nabarangpur police station. The police have registered a case and have launched a manhunt to nab the culprits.

However, no one was arrested till the time of filing this report.

Meanwhile, the incident has left the locals fuming over “poor” policing in the area.
