In Kendrapara, a city in Odisha, a man was arrested by the police on Monday. He was attempting to escape after allegedly attacking his wife and her brother. To disguise himself, he boarded a bus wearing a woman's dress. However, his attempt failed as his stubble was visible through the dupatta (a long scarf) that he had used to cover his face, exposing his true identity to the other passengers.
The man, who is 42 years old, was sitting among women passengers on the bus. He was wearing a blue kameez (a long tunic) and a pink legging. He had also put on a red bindi (a decorative mark on the forehead) to complete his disguise. But unfortunately, the woman sitting next to him noticed his stubble and alerted the others. As he tried to escape, the other passengers stopped him and informed the police. He was later arrested by the Kenrapara district police, according to Officer Pradeep Pradhan.
The passengers had no idea that the man, identified as Bikram Das, was fleeing after allegedly assaulting his wife and brother-in-law in a village called Madhusudanpur. It is unclear why he attacked them in the first place, but it is known that his wife was staying at his younger brother's place at the time of the incident.
After his arrest, Das was taken to court where his bail application was rejected. He was then sent to jail custody, as confirmed by Inspector Pradhan of Patkura police station. This was not the first time that Das had been in trouble with the law. In November 2018, he was arrested for the murder of three members of a family. However, he was acquitted two months ago due to lack of evidence, as all 29 witnesses had turned hostile, according to police sources.
This incident has once again raised questions about the safety of women in our society. It is a reminder that we must continue to strive towards creating a safe and equal environment for everyone, regardless of their gender. The police have assured that they will investigate this matter thoroughly and bring justice to the victims. Let us hope that incidents like these become a thing of the past and we can all live in a society where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
