A dispute between the owner of a JCB and its driver culminated in a dramatic police chase in Odisha's Ganjam district. On August 15, the owner lodged a complaint with police, leading to a search for the driver. The chase began when the driver fled with the vehicle. Police combed several areas, including Khallikote, Rambha, Purushottampur, and Kabisuryanagar, encountering numerous barricades.
Instead of stopping, the driver continued at high speed, smashing through multiple barricades. The pursuit lasted for a considerable distance before the driver abandoned the JCB near Gudiyali and fled on foot. Despite the police recovering the heavy machine, the driver remains at large, and a search is ongoing. The incident's unusual nature, involving a JCB rather than a conventional vehicle, has garnered widespread attention.
Police are examining the dispute, the driver's actions, and whether any additional offenses occurred during the chase and the alleged high-speed escape.
