BHUBANESWAR: A week after recording statements of five employees of Orissa Assembly in connection with the sexual harassment case of a Lady Marshal, police have served notice to former Speaker Maheswar Mohanty for interrogation.
The notice was served to Mohanty's staff as he was not present at the official residence here, a police officer said.
Mohanty who quit the post of Speaker in the wake of the sexual harassment slur made by Lady Marshal Gayatri Panda that he was the prime accused in the case.
