Bhubaneswar: 5 cops suspended for assault and molestation of Army Major and fiancee

Five police officers from Bharatpur Police Station in Bhubaneswar have been suspended following allegations of assault and molestation of a serving Indian Army Major and the daughter of a senior Army officer.

The incident has sparked outrage among retired army officials, who are demanding stronger action against the accused. The incident reportedly took place when the Army Major and the woman went to the Bharatpur police station to complain against some miscreants who had harassed them while returning from a hotel late at night. Instead of addressing their concerns, the police allegedly tortured the Major and the woman, even sending her to jail without any justification.
