Mumbai: Girl ‘molested by DIG’ goes missing, leaves notes saying going to kill self

The letter she left for the police states, “Main DIG ke pressure me ake suicide karne jarhahu mujhe dhundhna mat… (I am going to commit suicide due to the pressure from the DIG)”. The letter further reads, “Please don’t try to find me…mai train ke neeche aa raha hu (I am going to jump under a train).”

The letter she left for her parents states, “M sorry me doctor ban nhi paaya daddy apna sapna pura nhi kar paya (I’m sorry I could not become a doctor and fulfill my dreams, daddy).”

After her parents found the letter, they alerted the Navi Mumbai police, who started looking for the girl and checked if there were any deaths reported on railway tracks. DCP (zone II) Ashok Dudhe said, “We have been looking for the girl but have not found her as yet.”

According to police, the molestation incident had taken place on the girl’s birthday party last year, which was attended by the DIG. While the girl’s father was friends with the DIG, he told the police that the latter attended the birthday party uninvited. There, the accused allegedly touched the girl inappropriately.

The Navi Mumbai police, however, did not register an FIR for nearly six months and eventually booked the DIG after the Police Commissioner intervened. Soon after the FIR was registered on December 26, the accused went missing. A few days ago, he applied for an anticipatory bail and hearing in the case was underway at a sessions court in Panvel.
