Bhubaneswar: Odisha Police Wednesday filed a chargesheet against 11 people for their alleged involvement in the lynching of a GRP constable following an attempt to rape a woman on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar May 7, an official said.
Though 20 people were arrested in the case, the CID filed the chargesheet against 11 of them, as there was insufficient evidence against the remaining nine, an official said.
The chargesheet was filed under various sections of the BNS, including those dealing with murder and rioting.
It was alleged that a mob tied the GRP constable Soumya Ranjan Swain to a pole and assaulted him, leading to his death.
While one case was related to the murder of the GRP constable, and another concerned the alleged attempt to rape the woman.
