Rahul Gandhi said through a post on X, “Talked to the father of a brave daughter who lost his life in the fight for justice in Baleshwar, Odisha. The daughter’s pain, dream and struggle were all felt in her voice. He assured him that the Congress party and I would support him in every way. What happened is very inhuman and shameful. We will ensure that the victim’s family gets full justice in any case. ”
Student died during treatment
A student of Fakir Mohan College of Balasore had complained about sexual harassment case. He had told in the complaint that a senior college professor is harassing again and again, but no action was taken on the matter. The student in the end was upset and caught herself on fire. He then died during treatment.
He had alleged on Tuesday that the ‘system’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) killed this girl. The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not remain silent on this subject, but should answer as soon as possible.
Protesters created ruckus in Odisha
At the same time, now Odisha’s politics and social circles are now seen to be boiling. Today, on Wednesday morning, a large number of people gathered outside the assembly in Bhubaneswar and started protesting. The demonstration took place on the death of a 22 -year -old student, who recently committed suicide by alleging sexual abuse at Balasore’s Fakir Mohan (Autonomous) College. He died during treatment in AIIMS Bhubaneswar late on Monday night.
Student organizations, social workers protested fiercely
The protesting student organizations, social workers and common citizens demanded strict action, accusing the government and administration of delay in justice. During the protest, the situation worsened when angry protesters tried to break the police barricading. The police used water canon and tear gas to control the situation.
Justice will not be available like this …
The protesters say that justice is not possible only with economic compensation. They are demanding a fair investigation into the arrest of the accused professor and the role of the college administration. At the same time, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Manjhi has already announced a high -level inquiry and financial assistance of Rs 20 lakh in this case.
At present, security has been tightened in the assembly constituency and the situation is being closely monitored. However, this incident has once again raised questions about the security and justice system of women in the state.
