Mangaluru, Mar 22: It has been a year since the headless body of Rohit Radhakrishnan (22), a final year student of AJ Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangaluru, was found near Tannir Bavi beech, in the city on the fateful morning of March 23 2014. The tears of his parents Dr Sreedevi and Advocate Radhakrishnan are never dried. Nightmares are hounding them every nights as well as days.
Dr Sreedevi, a practicing pediatrician, who was working at Bahrain at that time, could not bear the loss of his son and returned home at Kuzhikkala Pathanamthitta, Kerala. Now, she is working with a hospital nearby and her husband Adv. Radhakrishnan is trying to bury his sorrows on his profession.
But, that is not easy as they are the one who lost their one and only child. Who could help them go get over with their sorrow and grief? Friends and relatives only could advise philosophy and may be sympathies on the loss.
The sad part is that, there is no support from any of the so called democratic machinery, reveal the aggrieved parents. “In our society what is the value for a human being? What are his rights? Does he have at least right to live? Does the society have the obligation to protect their fellow human beings? ” ask the helpless parents. According to them, after discovering the mutilated body of the student on the roadside, the police tried to cover up the case and tried to show it to the world as a case of accident.
It was the close relatives with the support of the media made the hue and cry to open the case again and relook into it. Later, the case was handed over to CID to pacify agitating parents and public.
But, what is the result of that enquiry? Where it stands? No one knows! According to the parents of the victim, all these are mere mockeries intended to divert attention of the public as well as the media from the issue and then divert the case as they wanted and to close it discreetly.
The parents said that there was a hard effort from the investigation team to prove that it is an accident. But they never or ever able to answer the questions been raised challenging the observation and conclusions made by the police or investigating team.Unfortunately, only effort being made by the investigators is to fabricate evidence to prove that Rohit’s death was due to an accident, say the kin, who believe that it was a case of homicide.
The parents are seeking convincing answers for the following questions in connection with the case:
1. Even after one year of the incident why the accident theory could not be established?
2. Why the investigators are not looking at the murder angle, when there are glaring evidences pointing to murder.
3. Why the body was brought to AJ Institute of medical sciences, where he was a studying.
4. Why the autopsy was conducted not by a police surgeon?
5. Why embalming was done without the consent of immediate relatives?
6. Why the video tape (mandatory) of the autopsy is missing?
7. Why the conflicting statements of his friends who were with him till the last moment were investigated further?
8. Why the police tried to hush-up the case declaring as a freak accident?
9. Why the AJ Institute of Medical Science, not even condole on the death of one of their student?
10. Why there was an inordinate delay in announcing a CID enquiry?
11. What was the outcome of that enquiry even after one year?
12. Why they have not questioned the local people who had identified the body and still believe it a murder?
