Ollywood actress Prakruti Mishra on Tuesday moved the Orissa High Court alleging police inaction in connection with the FIR she has lodged against actor Babushaan’s wife Trupti Satpathy.
The Home Secretary and the Kharavel Nagar police station IIC have been made parties in the petition.
Addressing mediapersons, Prakruti said, “Whatever was done to me, be it justice or injustice, Odisha has seen it. I have faith that I will get justice.”
Her lawyer said, “Prakruti was assaulted publicly by Babushaan’s wife Trupti and his father-in-law Lalit Satpathy on July 23. Even after so many days of the attack, police have failed to take action against the accused.”
“Police have not imposed mandatory Sections under the IPC like 354 (D) and 346 on the accused who manhandled her in public view. We have urged the court to instruct an independent agency to investigate the case,” said the lawyer.
Notably, the videos of Babushaan’s wife Trupti manhandling her husband and Prakruti on a street in Bhubaneswar had gone viral in July.
