We are deeply saddened to learn about the untimely demise of Ms. Beauty Mohanty, Inspector-in-Charge of Chauliaganja Police Station, Cuttack, who had previously served as the IIC of Mahila Police Station.

She was a dedicated, sincere, and friendly police officer with whom we had the privilege to work closely. Her commitment towards her responsibilities and her supportive approach touched many lives. Maadhyam Women Support Centre will always remember her sincerity, kindness, and valuable support.

We express our heartfelt condolences to her family, colleagues, and loved ones during this difficult time. May her soul rest in peace, and may her family find strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss.
