Nayagarh: The SIT probe into Pari death case has left several questions unanswered, particularly those raised by the deceased’s parents.
Soudamini Sahu, the deceased’s mother asks why the SIT has not shown their daughter’s frock to them. The SIT is claiming that the frock has semen stains.
“Who else can better identify the frock than us? The frock may not be of Pari,” she said.
“Similarly, the SIT found a leggings from the pond after getting it emptied. Here also the SIT did not think it proper to show us the leggings for verification. After getting the leggings, it claimed that it is the same leggings that the deceased was wearing on the fateful day. Does the SIT know better than us what Pari was wearing on that particular day?” she asked.
“We would like to believe that the team is investigating into the case to give us justice. But the team is not consulting us and paying no heeds to our complaints, how will it deliver justice to us,” she asked with tears rolling down the cheeks.
“We already know that the SIT is on the job of suppressing the case. But we will continue our fight till justice is delivered to us,” she sobbed out.
According to advocate Amiya Patnaik, it would be a difficult task to prove in the court that the college student is the murderer.
“Pari’s parents are not accepting that the student is the murderer of their daughter. The SIT is deliberately sidelining the parents’ complaints regarding their daughter’s death. If the college student is implicated in the case, the SIT will be responsible for this,” he said.
Pari’s advocate Chandra Bijayi Mishra has some questions as well.
“If the college student is the culprit, then why the minister was pressurising the Laxmiprasad sarpanch not to take the case further? The said minister is in no way related to the college student, nor has he ever talked to him. Pari’s friends who were playing with Pari on that day named the abductor. But why were the parents then beaten up at the district headquarters hospital?” he asked.
“At a time when the accused has already been arrested, then why the demand for a CBI inquiry is being avoided?” he added.
“Our demand is that the real accused be punished and Pari and her family get justice. But the possibility of the justice being delivered to the victim and her family seems to be slim as the government has been ignoring the demand for a CBI inquiry,” he said.
