more-in Family of the 17-year-old girl who committed suicide at the Tilak Vihar police post in west Delhi, demanded a fair probe into the incident. “Our Prime Minister says save daughters and educate them but one of their daughter [my sister] was found hanging inside a police post in Delhi. The policemen are responsible for her death. Two of my brothers and I were locked up in another room at the police post and my sister was locked up in the other. After hearing commotion from outside, I broke open the door and rushed to the room where my sister was locked. I broke the gate and found her hanging. All the policemen present at the post disappeared after that,” said Jasbir Singh, elder brother, who works with an RO filter company. ‘Bright student’ Mr. Singh said after his father death five years ago, he was taking care of the family. “No one has cleared Class XII exams in my family. My sister was good in studies and had recently passed Class XII exams with 76%. She was eager to join college. I was making all possible efforts so that she could continue her studies,” he said. He added that his sister turned hostile after hearing that her brothers were going to be booked under strict sections and were being sent to jail. She got upset and hanged herself. However, the police said that the girl in her statement clearly mentioned that she was beaten by her family members and felt threatened. She did not want to go back home. ‘No foul play’ “We have not received any complaint from the girl’s family member. The post-mortem reports clears that it was a case of hanging and no foul play is suspected. No case has been filed against the man or any of his family members. We are waiting for the magisterial enquiry report,” said Vijay Kumar, DCP (West). On Sunday, the minor girl allegedly committed suicide inside the Tilak Vihar police post. The family members alleged that their neighbour’s son had kidnapped her and wanted to forcefully marry her. However, the police officers have ruled out the kidnapping angle and stated that the girl had reached the police post on her own and did not wish to return home.
