Bhubaneswar Rape Case: Accused Nabbed After 3 Years
Bhubaneswar, April 28: The Infocity Police have arrested 26‑year‑old Shubhajit Pradhan, accused in a rape case dating back to May 19, 2023.
The arrest comes after three years of investigation into the survivor’s complaint.
According to police, the survivor, then 23 years old, had celebrated her birthday in the Infocity area.
She alleged that the accused took her to a hotel afterwards, where the assault occurred. The accused reportedly promised marriage, which influenced her initial response.
A formal complaint was later lodged when the accused allegedly failed to fulfil the marriage promise.
The case was registered at Infocity Police Station and remained under investigation until the recent breakthrough.
Authorities confirmed that further inquiry is underway to collect evidence and statements, emphasising adherence to due legal process and sensitivity toward the survivor.
