Four police officers, including three women, who were allegedly involved in the incident have been suspended, and it was announced that one police officer's duty station has been changed. A woman who runs a restaurant in the state capital Bhubaneswar claimed that she was harassed by a group of men on the road around 1:00 AM local time on September 15, and that she went to the Bharatpur police station with her fiancé, where she also claimed to have been subjected to physical and sexual assault by the police.
