An Army officer and his fiancée were allegedly assaulted by police officers at Bharatpur Police Station in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, after they went to file a complaint about a road rage incident. The woman claimed she was repeatedly kicked, dragged by her hair, stripped, and molested by the police inspector. She also alleged that her legs were tied with a scarf and her hands were bound by her own jacket before being dragged through the corridors.

The woman was arrested by the police and later granted bail by the Orissa High Court on Thursday. The Army officer filed a formal complaint against the police officers, leading to the suspension of five police officers, including the Inspector-in-charge of Bharatpur Police Station.

The Odisha Police have ordered a high-level investigation into the incident, acknowledging the severity of the assault and misconduct by the police. The incident has sparked nationwide outrage, with many demanding justice for the couple.
