Lucknow: In a yet shocking incident in Uttar Pradesh's capital, the police’ role has come under scrutiny that forced a college going girl to end up her life on Friday evening, post suffering continuous eve teasing, tortures and threats by some youths. Sarika Gupta, a medical student, allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself to death at her residence in Kalyanpur area.
Family of the 22-year-old girl blames police of keeping a lackluster approach towards the victim’s complaint in the Vikasnagar Police Station.
The aspiring dentist's shattered father said that neither the women helpline division 1090, nor the police helped her daughter to act over the ever teaser who was continuously molesting Sarika since many days.
Her family members further complained that M.B.A student Ajay Vishwakarma was harassing her and had also threatened to deface her by throwing acid on her face.
One of the close relatives of the girl said, “She complained in Vikasnagar Police Station that a person was harassing her but the station officer didn’t receive the FIR though it took a written complaint to let go the issue.”
Police, however, came in action after the girl committed suicide and has filed an FIR against the assailant Ajay Vishwakarma, who is on the run post the incident.
Constable Ghulam Mohammad has been suspended after the complaint of laxity from the family of victim.
Meanwhile, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Lucknow Rajesh Kumar said, “I talked to inspector Gudamba and SO Vikasnagar, they had no knowledge of any such complaint.”
He, however assured that the police would probe the matter and take appropriate action against the accused.
