Ayushman Sahu, an aide to suspended NSUI Odisha president Udit Pradhan, has been arrested after a 19-year-old student accused both men of drugging and assaulting her at a hotel in Mancheswar back in March.
Pradhan was already in custody since Sunday, following the victim's complaint.

Allegations of drugging and assault

The incident reportedly took place on March 18 at a Mancheswar hotel, where Sahu brought the victim and her friend before Pradhan joined them.
The two allegedly spiked her drink before the assault.
