Odisha's Ganjam police have detained two individuals in connection with the assault on a young couple in Berhampur. The incident, which occurred in full public view, has sparked outrage and prompted a police investigation to apprehend the remaining suspects.
A man and his female friend were assaulted in Berhampur, Odisha, leading to political condemnation and allegations of deteriorating law and order under the BJP government.
The funeral of retired Army Brigadier Mukesh Joshi, who died in a crossfire between rival gangs in Dehradun, has taken place. Police have arrested multiple suspects and launched 'Operation Prahar' to combat crime.
Singh said that about 150 people including women and forest, revenue and other officials were present at the time of the incident, and if the officials were assaulted, "why are there no eyewitnesses".
The bench also directed the Uttar Pradesh government to pay Rs five lakh to the lawyer, who is in a critical condition.
