Odisha: Raj Bhavan employee alleges assault by Governor Raghubar Das's son, family demands justice

An official posted in Odisha’s Raj Bhavan has accused Governor Raghubar Das’s son of assault for not sending luxury cars to pick him up from the Puri railway station.
The official, Baikuntha Pradhan (47), is posted as the Assistant Section Officer, Household Section, Governor’s Secretariat, Raj Bhavan. He has alleged that Das’s son Lalit Kumar and five others slapped, punched, and kicked him on the night of July 7 on the Raj Bhavan premises in Puri, where he was posted to supervise the preparation for President Droupadi Murmu’s visit. On July 10, Pradhan submitted a written complaint to the Governor’s principal secretary.
Sayoj, wife of Baikuntha Pradhan said, "...On the night of June 7, the Governor's son called my husband to his room and beat him badly. He came out to save himself, but two men dragged him and beat him. He is badly injured. He was beaten because he (the Governor's son) wanted a luxury car to pick him up from the station, but during that time many vehicles were on duty due to the President's visit. My husband sent a Maruti Suzuki car, which was available, so he beat my husband as to why he did not get VIP treatment. He is still injured. My husband also met the governor, but he did not respond well. We have lodged a complaint at the Puri Beach police station. We want the accused to be punished and justice should be given to us..."
