Alleging torture by her husband and non-action of police after she reported the matter a few months back, album actress Shweta Mohapatra has knocked at the doors of the DCP office for justice for her and her newborn daughter.
Shweta, who was at the police station with her 11-day-old infant, said she had to approach the DCP as police did not act on her complaint earlier. She had filed a case with Mancheswar police after she was attacked by four unidentified persons on March 25. She was four months pregnant then. The attack was reportedly planned by her husband Birat Mohapatra, who wanted to torture her as he was unhappy with her second pregnancy, she alleged.
During interrogation, Shweta, who hails from West Bengal, told police that she had met Birat when she was doing Odia albums and music videos here and got married to him in 2016. The couple has two daughters. Birat owns Rajdhani Furnitures and three restaurants in Bhubaneswar. In March, Shweta was pregnant with their second child. Birat, however, did not want the baby and was torturing Shweta since last five months hoping that it would lead to a miscarriage, she alleged.
Shweta also got to know that Birat was already married when he met her. Birat refused to accept her second child after birth and even claimed that the baby was not his, leading Shweta to once again seek police help, she said.
