Cuttack: A woman constable of Cuttack police has levelled charges of dowry torture, attempt to murder and domestic violence against her husband, who works in Odisha State Armed Police (OSAP).
Subashini Sahu, currently working in Olatpur police station of Cuttack (rural) police district, lodged a written complaint in the office of district Superintendent of Police (SP) here today alleging that her husband Subash Sahu has been torturing her for past several years for dowry.
