PNS

A widow of a retired Habildar constable of Odisha police who is quite alone and physically unwell at her home has ironically nobody to listen to her trouble in a department, where her husband had served.

Her complaint about a theft at her house was casually treated by the police. She had been burgled of 40 grams gold, 150 grams silver and Rs 10,000 cash and though it had been over a month she had lodged her complaint, she was yet to get justice.

To add to her misery, the forlorn woman was not getting family pension since death of her husband.

The woman Sanjukta (65), wife of Sashibhushan Patnaik of Balipanda Road, said she had lost all her valuables. Despite her complaint with the Town police station on November 1, the police were yet to take any action.

She alleged a couple who was staying on rent at her house for last five years was involved in the heist.
