LoP Naveen Condemns Heinous Act against Army Major and Lady in Bharatpur Police Station; Demands Judicial Inquiry

Bhubaneswar: Biju Janata Dal President and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Naveen Patnaik on Friday demanded a court monitored SIT probe and judicial inquiry into the heinous act against an Army Major and a lady in Bharatpur Police Station.

Strongly condemning the incident, LoP Naveen said the way an Army Major and a lady were treated in Bharatpur Police Station is shocking and beyond comprehension.

The manner in which police have allegedly treated them has shaken the conscience of the country. This has happened to a serving Army Officer and a lady within Odisha, Naveen said.

The Biju Janata Dal strongly condemns this heinous act and expects the BJP Government to take the strongest possible action against all those involved, he added.

Naveen said, “During our government we had the system of Mo Sarkar in which Chief Minister, Ministers and Senior Officers would call the citizens to take feedback on their visits to government offices including police stations and hospitals, whether they were treated with dignity and professional conduct. This BJP government has immediately stopped the pro-people initiative of Mo Sarkar and the consequences are visible”.

The day, the BJP government refused to take action against the governor’s son on a serious case of assault, others got emboldened, the BJD supremo said.

He also urged the state government to take action against the Governor’s son.
