PATNA: Even after 24 hours of the incident, the Patna police have failed to unravel the mystery behind the death of Pinki (16) who died after falling from a five-storied building of Officers’ Flat (Block-A) on Bailey Road here on Wednesday. The deceased was an intermediate student at AN College here.
DSP (law and order) LM Sharma said the Kotwali police are waiting for the autopsy report to reach to any conclusion whether the girl committed suicide or was pushed from the building by someone. He said the investigating officer (IO) has been asked to contact the girl’s family members and record their statements afresh.
“We are studying the printouts of the deceased’s mobile phone to elicit information about Munchun, whom Pushpa — Pinki’s maternal aunt with whom she was living — had charged with troubling her niece. The printouts will reveal his relation with Pinki,†said IO Uday Kant Mishra.
He apprehended that Munchun stayed somewhere near the Officers’ Flat area and Pinki, on getting a call from him on Wednesday morning, went there. She, along with her aunt, had lived in nearby Punaichak locality two years ago.
Mishra said that once the autopsy report is received, police would trace the whereabouts of Munchun.
Kotwali police station in-charge YK Singh also said that anything definite could only be spelt once the autopsy report is received.
Patna SSP Amit Kumar Jain said police would locate the boy, whom the deceased’s aunt had named, to know the truth. Meanwhile, Pushpa had claimed that her niece could not have taken such an extreme step of killing herself. She had accused Munchun of calling Pinki frequently and troubling her.
