Earlier, the woman had lodged a complaint with the Women's Commission and SP Kandhamal alleging that the BDO had ditched her after having physical relationship with her with false promise of marriage.
She had further alleged that Nayak had married her at Sriram Temple in Bhubaneswar in late 2013 and both had a conjugal life. But Nayak was reluctant to accept her as his wife.
She had lodged the complaint against Nayak after knowing that his family members were planning to marry their son off to some other woman on March 10.
Acting on the complaint, the Kandhamal SP had directed the Women desk of police to settle the matter through counseling, he said.
Meanwhile, the woman was sent to hospital due to ill health following a long dharna which ended yesterday in front of the Kandhamal District Collector's office.
