A female reporter of an electronic media filed a complaint at Kharvelnagar police station accusing him of slapping her during reporting in Bhubaneswar today.
The female journalist, Debasmita Rout, in her complaint alleged that the producer slapped her and hurled filthy language at her while she was in a film hall to cover an event today.
While speaking to the media, the female journalist said “Today, I came to a film hall to cover the release of an Odia film. I was at the entrance to get the bites of the artistes. He was then passing through the entrance. If I was standing on the pathway, he should have asked me to make way. Instead of that he slapped me on my cheek from behind. When I turned around, my boom and phone fell on the ground.”
Basing on the complaint the police registered a case (553/2023) under Sections 341, 323, 294 and 354.
