A lawyer and restaurant owner in Bhubaneswar, who is the fiancé of an army captain, has accused the Bhubaneswar police of brutal assault and molestation. The woman claims she was beaten, kicked, dragged, and molested by police officers after approaching the Bharatpur Police Station to file a case against a group who had waylaid her and her fiancé. The incident has sparked outrage and led to the suspension of five police officers, including the inspector, while the National Commission for Women has sought an action-taken report from the state police.
