Judicial probe ordered into alleged sexual assault on army captain’s fiancee

Chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi said that high court judge Chittaranjan Dash will probe the case and submit a report within 60 days. He said a judge will also monitor the Criminal Investigation Department’s ongoing probe.

“The police personnel involved in the incident have been suspended and criminal cases have been filed against them. Cases have been registered against the youths involved in the brawl [before the alleged assault]. The state government will ensure that the guilty are punished,” he said.

Majhi said the guilty would not be spared. “Odisha government is committed to safety, security, rights, and dignity of women and respect the army,” said Majhi after chairing a meeting late on Sunday with his top minister and officials.
