Egg attack on CM: Woman's father-in-law files counter case

Balasore: Following the arrest of the woman who hurled eggs at Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik during the inauguration of Talasari Beach festival in Balasore, her father-in-law lodged a counter case at the Talasari Marine police station today.

The woman's father-in-law Amulya Kamila in his complaint alleged that her daughter-in-law has been subjected to mental and physical torture inside the police station. This apart, he has also accused BJD MP Anant Das, some of his fellow supporters and Huguli sarpanch's son Abhijit Panda of misbehaving with his daughter-in-law.

Even though my daughter-in-law is innocent, she is getting brutally tortured by the police, he added.

The Talasari Marine police had earlier registered a case suo motu against the woman, under section 307 (attempt to murder) read with Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC based on the complaint of police ASI Madhusudan Dutt.
