The State unit of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday decried the police brutality and illegal arrest of its Jajpur district convenor IITian Satyabrata Prusty and staged a demonstration at PMG Square here demanding justice for the victim.
The women activists, who were also assaulted by the Jajpur Road police, lodged complaints with the State Commission for Women (SCW) on Wednesday seeking its earnest intervention in the police atrocity cases.
“We demand speedy inquiry into these cases and prompt delivery of justice to Satyabrata and other victims, failing which we will be forced to intensify our agitation,” said an AAP activist.
Meanwhile, Satyabrata was produced before a local court in Jajpur and forwarded to judicial custody for three days following rejection of his bail application.
Notably, Satyabrata, a resident of Marthapur village of the district, was thrashed and his properties were vandalised by some drunken hoodlums of the area last week. later, he was humiliated and beaten up by the police when he had been to police station to lodge an FIR.
