Bhadrak police have arrested a local sub-inspector on charges of subjecting his wife to severe physical and mental abuse.
Sub-Inspector Sethi, posted at the Bhadrak Town Police Station, allegedly harassed his wife over an extended period. Despite multiple attempts to resolve domestic disputes privately, the abuse reportedly persisted, prompting the victim to formally approach authorities.
Acting on her complaint, colleagues at the town police station apprehended Sethi, sparking widespread local discussion regarding accountability within law enforcement ranks.
While the arrest marks a swift administrative response, community members note that this is not an isolated incident, echoing previous domestic abuse allegations leveled against law enforcement personnel in the region.
