A shocking incident of sexual assault on an army officer's fiancee at a Bharatpur police station in Odisha has triggered national outrage. Former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik condemned the incident, demanding a judicial probe, while State Chief Minister Mohan Majhi vowed stringent action against the guilty party.

The Odisha Police Crime Branch has registered a case against five police personnel, including the inspector in charge, and they have been suspended following public outcry.
