Bhubaneswar: The whole city was in shock and disbelief as they heard the harrowing story of the Bharatpur police atrocity victim, who was confined to a wheelchair with a brace around her neck. She was a close friend of Army officer Major Gurvansh Singh and had fallen prey to a horrific act of violence and sexual assault, allegedly committed by IIC Dinakrushna Mishra and his colleagues in the early hours of Sunday. With tears in her eyes, the city-based restaurateur shared her painful experience and pleaded for justice.
She recounted the horrifying incident that took place in the wee hours of Sunday, when she and Gurvansh were travelling on the Pathargadia-Chandaka Road. A rashly-driven vehicle with 10-12 people inside stopped their vehicle and started misbehaving with them. Despite their efforts to defend themselves, they were overpowered by the attackers. In a state of shock, they went to the Bharatpur police station to seek help and lodge a complaint.
To their dismay, they were met with a lady cop in plain clothes who showed no concern for their distress and instead yelled at them and used foul language. A few minutes later, a police van arrived with three officers. They helped Gurvansh in filing a written complaint, but to the victim's horror, they suddenly turned violent and started beating Gurvansh before locking him up in a cell.
The victim bravely spoke up against the injustice and reminded the policemen that Gurvansh was an Army officer who deserved respect. But her words fell on deaf ears as two female cops dragged her into a room by her hair. In a desperate attempt to escape, she bit their hands, which only angered them further. They tied her up with her jacket and a scarf and left her at the mercy of a male constable who entered the room and began touching her inappropriately.
The victim's nightmare didn't end there. The IIC himself entered the room and unzipped his trousers in front of her, threatening her to keep quiet. She cried for help, but no one came to her rescue. The IIC continued to assault her until the morning, leaving her traumatized and in excruciating pain.
The victim's father, Brigadier Antaryami Pradhan, shared that she is expected to be discharged from the hospital in a few days, but needs ample rest to recover from the physical and emotional trauma. The whole incident has caused an uproar in the city, leading to the suspension of IIC Mishra and four other cops by DGP YB Khurania, pending an investigation by the Crime Branch.
The city is in shock and disbelief at the heinous act committed by those who were supposed to protect and serve. The victim's cry for justice has resonated with the entire community, and they demand that the perpetrators be punished for their despicable actions. The victim and her family hope that justice will be served and that no one else will have to go through the same ordeal.
