Summary of the case<br />

The victim Bhagirathi Sahoo (42) was a resident of Buxibazar, Cuttack. Two years back he had married<br />

mentally and physically by persuasion of their neighbour Akhaya Kumar Prusty, with whom she had an<br />

affair.<br />

On 30 March 2008 Kuni again troubled Bhagirathi by gathering some other women on in their home,<br />

even though he had requested her not to do that on that certain day. After some days, Kuni drove<br />

Bhagirathi out from their house and took Rs. 30,215/- from the house. She filed a false case of dowry<br />

torture against him at Mangalabag police station on 5 April 2008. The Officer-in-Charge of the police<br />

station appointed Assistant Sub-inspector (ASI) Smt. Durgasi Nandini Mohanty to enquire the case.<br />

Without lodging the F.I.R, the ASI called Bhagirathi over the phone and threatened him and told him to<br />

come to the police station. There, she verbally abused him and beat him without arresting him. While this<br />

took place, Kuni, Akhaya Prusty’s wife and other 4 to 5 women were present in the police station and they<br />

ridiculed Bhagirathi and laughed at him.<br />

After the incident Bhagirathi was forced by his wife to reside outside their house.
