Bhubaneswar: Hours after a video featuring a girl and her sister revealing injuries that they had sustained after allegedly being assaulted by Nayapalli police went viral, the inspector-in-charge of the police station concerned, Sangram Patnaik, was transferred to Reserve Police.
Two women sub-inspectors, Minati Nayak and Sasmita Dhal, have also been transferred in connection with the incident.
On the other hand, Umakant Pradhan has been given charge as the IIC of Nayapalli police station. Pradhan was serving as the additional IIC of Capital Police Station here.
The transfers were done following a directive from Director General of Police (DGP) Rajendra Prasad Sharma.
However, the officers of Nayapalli police station had refuted the allegation levelled against them.
According to police, a team of Nayapalli police had gone to Behera Sahi after receiving a complaint about a clash between two families over a property dispute on May 6. Two woman constables were also injured while pacifying the agitated families. The accused, including the complainants, were arrested and forwarded to court.
The injury marks on the body of the girls, who were later released on bail, might be the result of the violent clash, police had claimed.
