Early Times Report
Jammu, May 4: Basant Lal, father of a teenage girl, who was found hanging in a hotel in Katra last month, on Thursday accused Police of trying to hush-up the alleged murder of his daughter.
Basant Lal while talking to reporters here said that he has lost all hope to get justice due to the alleged “casual approach” of the senior police officers in this sensitive case.
“No one is ready to listen to me. For the last week, I have been approaching one officer after another but to no avail, as cops are not ready to even listen to my grievance”, Lal said.
“It is all due to my economic condition that police officers are taking the mysterious murder of my daughter casually”, said, Lal, who is a resident of a remote village of Ramnagar area of Udhampur.
The helpless father has reason to question the intention of the police because, after the passing of nearly one month, police have yet not received a postmortem report.
“Owner of the hotel where my daughter was serving is an influential person so cops are trying to hush up the murder of my teenage daughter”, he alleged and refuted the police’s story that his daughter had committed a suicide.
“Due to their behaviour and inhuman attitude, I have lost faith in Katra Police”, he said and aired apprehension that by abusing his position the hotel owner will change the postmortem report with the “help of police officers.”
Narrating the unfortunate episode, he recalled that on April 8 evening, he spoke to his daughter and she was happy and satisfied with her job.
“On April 9, I received a call on my phone from Police Station Katra. I was informed that my daughter is critical and asked to rush to Katra immediately”, he said and regretted that when he reached Katra he was informed that his daughter has committed suicide.
“Police kept me in the dark”, he pointed out and added that cops were not even ready to record the statement of the colleagues of his deceased daughter.
As per a report a teenage female staffer of a prominent hotel in Katra town was found hanging under mysterious circumstances at the staff quarter of the hotel last month.
The 18-year old girl was found hanging from the ceiling fan in the staff quarter of the hotel.
According to the Police, the girl was working as a housekeeping employee in the hotel for the last few months. A case was registered in this regard and investigations were taken up.
When contacted, Superintendent of Police (SP) Katra told The Early Times that a case has already been registered and an investigation is going on. “We are waiting for the postmortem report for further investigation”, the SP said. |
