Odisha Inspector Suspended After Illegal Detention of Youth

Odisha Inspector Suspended After Illegal Detention of Youth

Imagine a police officer keeping someone locked up in the police station for two whole days, even though they're not supposed to.

That's what happened in this story.

A police inspector in India detained a young man named Kartika without any official reason or paperwork.

A local politician found out and helped get Kartika out of the police station.

Now, the police inspector has been suspended for breaking the rules.

The rules say the police can't keep someone for more than a day without taking them to a judge.

Kartika was also reportedly mistreated.

This event caused quite a stir, with the politician getting involved to fix the problem.
