Justice delayed is Justice Denied!

A woman, who sought justice for harassment, was brutally assaulted by Odisha police officers at the Bharatpur Police Station, Bhubaneswar.

Justice delayed is Justice Denied!
Share on FacebookShare on X

The young woman Ms Ankita Pradhan daughter of Brigadier Antaryami Pradhan (retired) and her fiancé an Army officer, were harassed by local miscreants. Believing in the democratic system and expecting protection, they turned to the police to file a complaint. Instead, the officer was unlawfully detained, and his fiancée, was subjected to physical abuse, with male officers allegedly attempting to sexually humiliate her. What was her fault? That she simply trusted the system to provide justice? How ironic that a woman who sought protection from harassment found herself victimized by those meant to uphold the law.

Legal Violations and Police Misconduct

The police’s actions on that night raise serious legal questions. Under Indian law, no woman can be arrested after sunset unless authorized by a magistrate. However, this woman was illegally detained late at night without any such order. Also, a male police officer should not touch the woman for arrest, but Ms. Ankita Pradhan has been tortured by the male officers. Moreover, there are no reports that she was presented before a magistrate within 24 hours, a clear violation of her constitutional rights. The police also failed to explain why the victim of a harassment case ended up being arrested while her perpetrators roamed free.

Additionally, why did a woman, who simply went to report an incident, have to approach the court for bail? Where is her dignity in all of this? The Odisha police not only violated her rights but also trampled upon her self-respect. This incident reflects an alarming culture of impunity that seems to thrive within the Odisha police force.

Government’s Inaction and Hollow Promises

While the Odisha government has suspended five police officers involved in the case, these token actions are insufficient. Odisha’s Deputy CM, Pravati Parida, visited the victim in AIIMS Bhubaneswar, promising that the culprits would be punished once the Crime Branch inquiry report is submitted. But where was the government’s immediate action? A government truly committed to justice would have ensured swift arrests and judicial proceedings against the perpetrators. It’s not just about suspensions; this is about holding those who violated the law accountable to the fullest extent.

CM Mohan Charan Majhi has claimed that his government is taking the incident seriously and has promised a thorough investigation by the Crime Branch. But promises alone cannot undo the damage done. The state claims to have a “zero-tolerance” policy for violence against women. Where was this zero-tolerance when a woman was beaten, tortured, and humiliated by law enforcement? Why did it take public outrage for the government to act?

 

Hollow Initiatives: Subhadra Yojana and the Reality of Women’s Empowerment

The Odisha government recently launched the Subhadra Yojana to promote financial independence for women. While financial empowerment is crucial, this incident shows that economic freedom is meaningless if women isn’t safe. What’s the point of financial independence if a woman is at risk of being brutalized by the police the moment, she seeks justice? The disconnect between the government’s rhetoric on women’s empowerment and its failure to ensure basic safety is glaring.

 

The Victim’s Ordeal: A Cry for Justice

The details shared by the victim paint a picture of unimaginable horror. According to her, she was physically tied up, mercilessly beaten, and male police officers attempted to strip her of her dignity. Despite revealing her identity as a lawyer and the fiancée of an Army officer, the police showed no restraint. They acted as if they were above the law, immune to any accountability. How can such cruelty go unanswered in a state that claims to uphold the rule of law?

 

Where Does the Odisha Government Stand?

The government of Odisha needs to answer some pressing questions. What steps will it take to restore the woman’s dignity and self-respect? Can a simple inquiry and a few suspensions heal the trauma inflicted upon her? More importantly, how will the state ensure that such incidents never happen again?

This case is a wake-up call for the Odisha government and the country at large. Women’s empowerment is not about launching fancy schemes or programs; it’s about creating an environment where women feel safe, respected, and protected. The scars this woman bears, both physical and emotional, are a damning indictment of Odisha’s broken law enforcement system.

It’s time for the Odisha government to stop paying lip service to women’s rights and start delivering justice where it is most needed. The world is watching, and women everywhere are waiting to see if this government will finally stand up for the principles it claims to represent.
