The friends and family of the victim had made a demand for a CBI probe.
Karnataka police chief, the Director General-Inspector of Police Neelamani M Raju on Saturday ordered the Criminal Investigation Department to probe the death of a 23-year-old engineering student in Raichur. The announcement was reportedly made after the victim’s parents met former CM Siddaramaiah seeking justice,who in turn urged Home Minister MB Pail, his key confidante to look into the issue. The 23-year-old’s body was found hanging from a tree at a farm on April 15 after she was missing from April 13. The farm is reportedly owned by the father of the prime accused in the case, Sudarshan Yadav, who is currently under arrest. Incidentally, police had found a death note near her body but according to her friends and family, she was probably made to write it under duress. The alleged initial inaction by the police was faced with massive protests in the district especially from the students demanding justice for the deceased. The announcement of the CID probe comes on a day when parents of the woman addressed reporters alleging the local police had shielded the accused. In the press conference, the woman’s mother on Saturday said, “My daughter became friends with Sudarshan when she was in PU (pre-university) college. Six months ago, they had a falling out and she stopped talking to him. Ever since, Sudarshan began harassing my daughter. He would keep following her all the time. Her father had to always be with her and drop her to college on several occasions to make sure that Sudarshan does not trouble her. We know what our daughter went through and how miserable she had become because of him.” The parents also alleged that Sudarsah’s uncle Anjaneya who is a station writer at the Sadar Bazaar Police Station influenced other police officers to not act on the case.
