Puri:3/7/17: As the Holy Trinity is returning to the main shrine on Bahuda Jatra, an incident of a woman, who is a medical student, being allegedly molested on the day before has caught headlines.

She had posted on Facebook, relating her harrowing experience on Sunday when she was in the pilgrim city to have a darshan of the Lords.

She complained this matter to the SP and also disclosed the name of the accused.

According to her post, “I am actually shamed that such things especially happens in puri dham. …. Holding his collar, I slapped him thrice…. I request Hon’ble CM Sj Nabin Pattanik to look into the matter seriously.”

Describing the ordeal in detail, the victim’s mother said a policeman in blue colour dress had misbehaved with her daughter when she was standing in queue.

“The policeman was ogling at women who are standing in a line which is indecent and was also touching them inappropriately. When my daughter moved in the line, he started behaving the same way which irked her and she slapped him at the spot,” said the victim’s mother, who is a Government lecturer.

Sarthak Sarangi, SP, Puri clarified that they have received no written complaint and it is just posted on social media. He assured that they would take a suo motu cognizance of this incident taking into account the FB post after Niladri Bije.
