Sources said the investigating officials will quiz them about the reason and who directed them to attack the former Balasore MP.

Swain was allegedly misbehaved and later thrashed by a youth while he was addressing a public meeting at Kashipur on November 24. The incident came to the fore after the political leader uploaded a video of the incident on his Facebook profile.
