A tale of inhuman torture has unfolded ever since Sunita was rescued by the police on the night of August 22. Sunita was found in an “indescribable condition” after police raided the residence, Argora Police Station in-charge Vinod Kumar had said. “She had severe wounds and burns all over her body, as examined by a female officer. She appeared to be highly malnourished. She is in a state of shock. Sunita claimed she was made to lick her own urine … many of his teeth are missing. He was allegedly struck with an iron rod.”The statement of the victim was earlier recorded before the magistrate.
A video of Sunita narrating her ordeal had gone viral on social media, following which clamour for Patra’s arrest had grown louder across the state and elsewhere. She was subsequently suspended by the party. After his arrest, Patra had claimed that he was innocent and was being framed in the case. He was sent to 14-day judicial custody on Wednesday.
