Cop Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Woman in Kendrapada

On November 14, 2025, a policeman in Kendrapada district was arrested on charges of sexually harassing and assaulting a 34-year-old woman four months ago. The accused, identified as havildar Ajay Sahoo, had previously obtained a stay on his arrest, which was later vacated by the court.

The incident occurred in July 2025, when the woman filed a complaint at the Marshaghai police station, alleging that Sahoo had molested and attacked her. The complaint stated that the accused used to call the woman regularly, demanding sexual favors and even offering her money.

After the complaint was filed, Sahoo fled, and he was subsequently suspended from his job in August 2025. However, he managed to obtain an interim stay order on his arrest. This stay order was finally vacated by the court on November 13, 2025, leading to Sahoo's arrest the following day.
