A 20-year-old woman, Sudeeksha Bhati, who was going to meet her relatives ahead of returning to her college in the United States died in a road accident in Bulandshahr after alleged harassment.
Sudeeksha Bhati, a bright young woman, had secured 98 percent in her class 12 Board exam and was pursuing her higher studies in the United States after receiving a scholarship from a prestigious college.
A FIR was filed on Tuesday night after extensive anger and widepsread outrage over Sudeeskha's death. Bhaujan Samajwadi Party Chief Mayawati has called her demise "extremely sad, embarrassing and very condemnable."
Sudeeksha was visiting her relatives with her uncle Manoj Bhati and was chased by two men on a bike, the family said. However, the case has now taken political turn as Bulandshahr’s district magistrate and police chief said the officials probing the case have found no proof of harassment. A CCTV footage that shows the two men is being investigated by the district police for the time being.
"There were two men on the other bike. They were passing comments on her and were driving recklessly," said Omkar Bhati, a family member.
The officials, on the other hand, said Sudeeksha was riding pillion with her young brother, who is reported to be a minor, when his motorcycle crashed into another bike that had stopped ahead of them “due to traffic”.
Ravindra Kumar, the district magistrate, today told the reporters: "The motorcycle was being driven by her brother, a minor, and not Sudeeksha's uncle. So far, there is no evidence of harassment."
The police also tweeted a clip from her younger brothers wherein he recounted the moments before the accident but no harassment was mentioned. The case is currently being investigated.
The Bulandshahr Police earlier this morning said they spoke to the eyewitnesses. "The police team that went to the spot had questioned eyewitnesses who said a Royal Enfield Bullet was coming from the front and it suddenly stopped (near their bike) because of the traffic, which led to the accident. The body of the woman was sent for the postmortem. At that time when the accident happened, the relative or any eyewitness had not spoken about any harassment," said Atul Shrivastava, a senior police officer in Bulandshahr.
Sudeekhsa, a daughter of tea seller, from a small village of UP, was one of the very few girls who have been able to complete their school education.
