Bhubaneswar: The court of the Additional District Judge on Monday acquitted the prime accused, Prasant Pradhan and his brother Sukant Pradhan due to lack of evidence seven years after the sensational Pipli gang-rape and murder case.
A 19-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly gang-raped at Arjungoda village under Pipli police limits of Puri district on November 29, 2011. After spending more than four months in coma, the victim died at SCB Medical College and Hospital on June 21, 2012. People had organised a state-wide stir at that time and alleged the involvement of political leaders.
After investigation, the Justice P. K. Mohanty Commission had given a report to the government on March 30, 2016. Amulya Champatiray, who was then posted as Inspector-in-Charge of the Pipili police station was also dismissed from his job.
