Cuttack, July 5: IIC of Keonjhar Police Station Trinath Sethy was transferred on Friday for his arrogant behaviour with MLA Mohan Charan Majhi(at present CM, Odisha) during the recently concluded elections.
As per an order issued by the Odisha Police state headquarters in Cuttack today, Sethy has been transferred to the Gajapati district.
Worth mentioning, the IIC had allegedly misbehaved Mohan Majhi at the police station during the general election process in May.
As per reports, Majhi, accompanied by scores of locals had moved the Keonjhar police relating to a public grievance demanding uninterrupted drinking water supply to the Raisuan and Gopinathpur panchayats. Meanwhile, the IIC allegedly asked Majhi to leave the police station and warned the MLA of legal action for his access to the PS during the imposition of Model Code of Conduct.
Following the incident, Majhi and the local residents staged a dharna in front of the police station, demanding action against the police official.
