Former Chief Administrative Secretary Vijay Patnaik finds himself in the spotlight over the heinous incident at the Bharatpur police station. He questions the lack of arrest for the police officer who brutally tortured an army officer and his hostage. Patnaik highlights the contradiction in the government’s claim of empowering women by distributing Rs 5,000 while the rape victim in the police station continues to seek justice.
In his media address today, he states that allegations suggest the police officer directly participated in the horrific incident. He mentions that the Crime Branch has filed a case and initiated an investigation, yet the involved police officers remain unarrested.
Patnaik emphasizes that if authorities arrested the two individuals who came to file a complaint in the middle of the night, then why hasn’t the police officer responsible for this scandal faced arrest? He demands clarity on what additional information justifies the lack of an arrest.
Furthermore, Patnaik questions which doctor examined the young woman subjected to police violence and what details he included in his report. He also asks what actions authorities took against the doctor if he manipulated his findings.
