Farrukhabad (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 30 (ANI): Days after the bodies of two teenage girls were found hanging on a tree at Bhagautipur village of Kaimganj in Farrukhabad, police made it clear on Friday that the victims had died by suicide stating the post-mortem reports and arrested two accused in the incident.
Farrukhabad SP Alok Priyadarshi said, “After studying the post-mortem report, it has become clear that the girls had died by suicide… Police have arrested 2 accused in the case… It has been found that they used to harass the girls for talking on the phone… Due to this, they committed suicide… Further action is going on in the case…”
Earlier, family members raised suspicions of murder and claimed that thorns were pierced in one of the bodies and the body had marks from a belt.
“We are labelling allegations of murder because the girl with higher weight was up and the girl with lesser weight was down. She had marks of injury on her leg, and thorns were pierced in her body and also had marks of belts,” said the father of one of the deceased.
“We demand a correct investigation and the culprit must be punished… FIR has not been registered. We are sure that the girls have been murdered… Police are saying that it is suicide but we don’t agree with this version,” he added.
The father of the deceased also said that he had spoken to a senior police official and he is been assured of a fair investigation and post-mortem report.
Chief Medical Officer Farrukhabad, Avanindra Kumar also ruled out any evidence of sexual or physical assault. Avanindra Kumar said, “Postmortem of both the girls has been done. There is no evidence of sexual or physical assault.”
Following the incident Samajwadi Party MP Awadesh Prasad had criticised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government, saying that the law and order has “failed”, over the death of two girls.
Speaking with ANI, Awadesh Prasad said, “This incident is saddening and painful. It is sad that since the BJP has come to power under Yogi Adityanath, law and order have completely failed.”
“Everyday incident like this keeps happening in UP. The law and order is out of their (BJP) control.” Awadesh Prasad said. (ANI)
