The cop was suspended over the alleged sexual assault on the fiancée of an Indian Army Captain at Bharatpur police station in the wee hours of 15

The alleged torture and sexual assault of an Army officer's fiancée at a police station in Odisha has resulted in a social media clash between retired Army Chief General V K Singh and former CBI Director M Nageswara Rao. The incident, which took place in Bhubaneswar on the night of 15 September, has ignited widespread public outrage.

Bhubaneswar: A court in the Odisha capital on Wednesday allowed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to conduct a polygraph test on a suspended police officer in connection with the alleged torture of an army officer and sexual assault of his fiancée in custody.

A retired Indian high court judge will investigate allegations that a woman was physically and sexually assaulted by a group of police inside a police station in the eastern state of Odisha, the authorities say.

The controversy ignited when Singh called for immediate action against the police personnel implicated in the alleged assault, which he labeled as “shameful and horrendous.”
