A host of social organisations would stage a demonstration in front of the Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) office here at 12 pmon Monday demanding arrest of OSPCB Member-ecretary Rajiv Kumar, who has allegedly sexually harassed a woman on the promise of giving a chance in an Odia film.
“Though the woman has lodged an FIR at the laxmisagar police station in this regard, no action has been taken against Rajiv Kumar. We have decided to stage a protest meeting at the OSPCB office and submit a memorandum to the Commissionerate police seeking his (Kumar’s) arrest,” said Rajya Nagarika Samaj convenor Prakash Rath, Manav Adhikaar Protection’s Indiara Das and State Progressive Women’s Forum’s president Mamata Samantray in a joint statement.

They alleged that police have not taken any action against Rajiv Kumar as he is an influential person.
