Tension gripped residents of MLA Colony at Unit-IV here when vehicles parked at the official residence of Talcher BJD MLA Braja Kishore Pradhan were found gutted early on Monday morning.
Two cars, two motorbikes and a bicycle were completely destroyed in the fire. It was suspected that some miscreants might have set the vehicles on fire late on Sunday night to settle a score with the MLA. The Capital police came to the spot and initiated an investigation into the incident.
