Condemns callous attitude displayed by Delhi Police in investigation of Death girl
New Delhi, 31st May, 2013
NEFIS (North-East Forum for International Solidarity) condemns the callous attitude displayed by Delhi Police in the investigation of the death of a girl from the north-east under mysterious circumstances.
The police are trying to dismissing the case as a suicide on the basis of prima facie evidence; however the circumstances of her death point to the fact that the possibility of murder may not be out rightly rejected.
The careless attitude of Delhi Police is particularly worrying due to the recent surge in the incidents of violence against women in the city that have earned for it the unenviable sobriquet of the ‘rape capital’ of India.
This carelessness is particularly shocking because single working women and women students living alone are particularly vulnerable sections and hence any incidence of violence against them ought to be treated with utmost caution and seriousness.
NEFIS demands that meticulous and thorough investigation of this case be carried out and in future too Delhi Police should be extra careful in dealing with the cases of apparent/possible cases of violence against women, failing which NEFIS would be forced to take recourse to democratic means of agitation against the police administration.
