In a shocking development, Udit Pradhan, the Odisha unit president of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), faces severe allegations after being arrested for reportedly raping a 19-year-old woman at a hotel. The police unveiled this information on Monday, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
The alleged crime occurred on March 18 but surfaced only on Sunday when the aggrieved student filed a complaint at the Mancheswar Police Station. According to her statement, Pradhan allegedly spiked her drinks and committed the assault, a report corroborated by senior police officials.
In response to the accusation, NSUI's national leader, Varun Choudhary, promptly suspended Pradhan and reiterated the organization's zero-tolerance policy towards gender-based misconduct.
