Woman In Odisha Accuses Police Of Using 3rd-Degree On Husband Over Drunken Brawl

Bhadrak: A woman has accused police in Odisha’s Bhadrak district of torturing her husband, using third-degree methods, while handling a domestic dispute matter on Thursday.

According to sources, a female constable had intervened after being informed about a brawl between the woman, Rubina, and her husband man, identified as Jiban Jena. The situation took a turn for the worse when Jena, who was in an inebriated state, attempted to attack the constable with a brick. The constable called for backup, after which some police personnel arrived in a PCR van and took him into custody.

Jena’s wife has alleged that he was brutally beaten at the police station. His family members found multiple injury marks on his body when they went to meet him at district headquarters hospital, where he was admitted last night.

“At least 7-8 policemen overpowered him. The female constable repeatedly hit him with a sharp weapon, leaving scars all over his body. He is in severe pain, with injuries on his palms, feet, and other parts of his body,” she alleged.
