Teenager's death: Parents blame police for hurried autopsy

MAPUSA

In their first public appearance after the death of their teenaged daughter, the parents of the deceased girl have blamed the police and the government for carrying out the post mortem in a hurry without even keeping them in a loop.

The deceased girl's relatives and villagers also threatened to protest at the Azad Maidan in Panaji on Monday to demand justice for the girl.    

The father of the girl has also accused the Mapusa Police of treating him with contempt and failing to investigate over the missing report.

“The police should have first informed me when the body was found instead of taking it directly to the hospital. When I saw the body I was in a state of shock. Instead of understanding my plight the police were asking unnecessary questions with me,” the father said, while speaking to a local channel.  

He also said that the police have recorded his statement wrongly and have published unnecessary statements about my girl.

He said his daughter had not taken her mobile on the fateful day only because her mobile was not charged and not for any other reasons.

Her mother pleaded that her daughter be given justice and demanded answers to several unanswered questions.
