Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Sunday directed the police to withdraw all the cases registered against the woman who had hurled eggs at him at a public meeting at Talasari in Baleswar recently.
Earlier, police had on February 5 dropped attempt to murder charges (Section 307 of IPC) levelled against the accused Rajeswari Kamila.
The Baleswar police had registered a case against her under Sections 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 294 (anyone indulging in an obscene act in any public place or sings or utters any obscene songs or words in any public place causing annoyance to others) and 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) of IPC.
Rajeswari, protesting the arrest of her husband and BJP worker Dilip Kamila, had thrown two eggs at Patnaik on January 31 when the CM was addressing a public meeting after inaugurating the Talasari Beach Festival in Baleswar district.
However, the eggs didn’t hit the Chief Minister and fell near the podium on which he was delivering his speech.
She was admitted to the Baleswar District Headquarters Hospital and later shifted to the SCB Medical College Hospital in Cuttack after allegedly being thrashed by BJD workers.
The Jaleswar JMFC court had granted her conditional bail on February 8.
