Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has ordered the Crime Branch of Odisha Police to investigate the mob lynching of 32-year-old GRP constable Soumya Ranjan Swain, who was killed on May 7 in Balianta, near Bhubaneswar. The lynching occurred after Swain was accused of attempting to rape a woman, leading to a mob of around 40 people attacking him and a companion, Om Prakash Rout, who survived the assault. The Chief Minister expressed his deep concern over the incident during a high-level meeting and has directed the police to ensure such events do not recur. As of now, 11 arrests have been made, with six additional individuals apprehended recently. Swain's father, Dhusasan Swain, has alleged that police officers also assaulted his son during the incident, further complicating the narrative surrounding the events. The Law Minister of Odisha, Prithviraj Harichandan, has assured the victim's family that action will be taken against those involved in the lynching.
