Court issues notice to student union President

A local court today issued notices to NSUI Odisha unit President Itish Pradhan and proprietor of a local website Pradip Pandey besides directing banning the circulation of the sex tape allegedly featuring a Mayor.

The senior judge civil division, Bhubaneswar, directed the ban on the circulation of the video tape following a case filed by the Mayor Ananta Narayan Jena yesterday.

The said Mayor had also filed a defamation suit of Rs 1 crore against Pradhan and Pandey.

The issue came to fore when social media aired the video-tape purportedly featuring three persons including a woman.

NSUI state President Pradhan had alleged in a press conference that one of the person in the video appeared like the Mayor.
