Army officer and his fiancee in Odisha receive security from the state in response to an incident of assault by a custodial officer.

On Tuesday, the government of Odisha took a crucial step in ensuring the safety of an army officer and his fiancee, who were victims of a disturbing incident of sexual assault while in custody at the Bharatpur police station in Bhubaneswar. The state authorities made the decision to provide personal security officers for the couple, as confirmed by a senior officer from the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Commissionrate of Police.

According to the officer, these PSOs will be by their side whenever they move around the city, providing them with much-needed protection and support. Both the army officer and his fiancée have gratefully accepted the government's gesture of safeguarding their well-being. This move came after a meeting between the chief minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, and the couple along with the victim's father and some former army personnel at the state secretariat the previous day.

During this meeting, the victim expressed her concerns about facing potential threats due to the ongoing case. However, after speaking with the chief minister, she felt a sense of relief and expressed hope that justice would be served through the judicial inquiry that had been initiated by the state government. It was reported that the alleged incident occurred on September 15, when the couple visited the Bharatpur police station to file a complaint regarding a road rage incident where they were harassed by a group of local youths.

In response to this distressing incident, the state government took swift action by suspending five police personnel and ordering a judicial inquiry into the matter. This decision has been welcomed by the public, who hope that it will bring about justice for the victims and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. The safety and well-being of every citizen are of utmost importance, and the government is committed to ensuring that everyone can live without fear or threat.
