The government of Odisha has executed a massive police reshuffle across the state within a week of the harrowing incident of sexual and physical abuse against an army officer and his fiancé by police authorities in Bhubaneshwar. On September 15th, the police personnel deployed at the Bharatpur police station in Bhubaneswar allegedly did not accept the complaint an Army officer and his fiancée wanted to lodge at 2 a.m. Instead, the complainants were allegedly subjected to assault and sexual harassment. The incident triggered nationwide outrage, with the Indian Army taking serious cognisance of it.

As many as 50 IPS officers have been transferred — including Bhubaneshwar’s Police Commissioner Mr. Sanjeeb Panda & DCP Prateek Singh. Mr. Panda, who served as CP only for nine months, has been posted as ADG training and director of the Biju Patnaik State Police Academy (BPSPA), while Prateek Singh has been made SP Cuttack (rural). The reshuffle comes a few days after Chief Minister Mohan Majhi, during a conference of district collectors, had said there must be time-bound transfers and this reshuffle is the first major one by the newly elected BJP government.
