--Women Commission members meet lady cop

BHUBANESWAR: The Commissionerate Police on Friday forwarded 34 accused to court in connection with the mob violence case, said Police Commissioner Sunil Roy. The police have started investigation into the mob violence case. The police are also searching for the culprits who were involved in the September 6 violence case. More than hundred congress supporters are under treatment in various private hospitals and in the Capital Hospital in the city.   

The lady cop Pramila Padhy, who was attacked by the Congress workers during the clash between the cop and agitators at the Lower PMG on September 6, is under treatment in a private hospital. The members of Odisha State Commission for Women (SCW) have met the attacked lady cop and condemned the incident.

A team led by State BJD women wing president Pramila Malick met State Human Rights Commission and the SCW to take appropriate steps in connection with the lady cop attack case. The Human Rights Commission directed the Bhubaneswar DCP Nitinjeet Singh to submit report on the case within two weeks, while SCW chairperson Jyoti Panigrahy met Padhy and inquired about her health condition. The SCW would submit its report to the Government in the case, sources said.

“I inquired about the incident from the lady cop after meeting her in the hospital. I would direct to the police officials to take stringent action against the culprits who directly or indirectly involved in the attack,” said Panigrahy.

Protesting the attack on the lady cop by the Congress workers on September 6, the State BJD women wing would stage a peaceful agitation at the Lower PMG here on Saturday. The condition of the injured lady cop is stable. The police are investigating into the matter.
