Sudiksha Bhati death case: 2 arrested, cops rule out harassment angle
Police ruled out allegations that the 19-year-old student was eve-teased by the duo, adding that her death was due to a road accident.
New Delhi: The Bulandshahr Police in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday arrested two people in connection with the death of Sudiksha Bhati.
However, the police also ruled out allegations that the 19-year-old student was eve-teased by the duo, adding that her death was due to a road accident.
Addressing a press conference today, the Bulandshahr District Magistrate and SSP said that the two were arrested on the basis of CCTV footage from the location. They said that on August 10, when the accident took place, the two bikes-the one on which the two men were travelling, and the one on which Sudiksha was travelling-were moving in the same direction.
The men’s Royal Enfield was ahead of Sudiksha’s bike and had to apply breaks after an auto, which was in front of the two bikes, suddenly applied breaks. This resulted in Sudiksha’s bike ramming into the Enfield from behind; she fell off the bike and died.
Sudiksha Bhati, who hailed from Deri Scanar village in Gautam Buddh Nagar’s Dadri, died on August 10 in a road crash in Bulandshahr district while she was pillion riding a motorcycle with her younger cousin, a minor.
Sudiksha, an academically bright student, was pursuing a graduation course in entrepreneurship at Babson College, Massachusetts (US), on a scholarship and was scheduled to go back on August 20.
