Four days in, Odisha Crime Branch begins search for miscreants involved in abuse of Army officer and fiancée

A day after the Orissa High Court granted her bail, the fiancée of an Indian Army officer, who was allegedly assaulted at the Bharatpur police station in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, has accused the inspector-in-charge (IC) and another officer of sexual harassment and molestation while she was in police custody on the morning of September 15, according to a report by The Indian Express.

She alleged that around 6 am, as she was crying for help, the inspector sexually assaulted her and used abusive language, the report claimed.

The couple had reportedly been assaulted by the police when they visited the station to file a complaint following a road rage incident. The court has taken serious note of the matter and ordered appropriate action.
