Odisha Prisons DG Removed After Sexual Harassment and Intimidation Allegations
A former woman jail official in Odisha has accused Prisons Director General Sushant Kumar Nath and his associate Kuldeep Ratha of sexual harassment, criminal intimidation, and misuse of position. The complaint alleges Nath threatened her career and safety after she refused private meetings and pressured her to withdraw a case against another official. Following the allegations, Nath was removed from his DG post and transferred to an officer-on-special duty role as authorities investigate the matter under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
