Rampur, May 06:
A 28- YEAR- OLD junior high school teacher was allegedly mowed down by hooligans after their effort to molest her ended in failure.
The incident took place in Rampur district of Uttar Pradesh on Friday night and brings to spotlight the state’s lawlessness.
The deceased, Reeti Sharma, was returning to her rented accommodation when the incident took place.
Eyewitnesses said five to six youth, travelling in a Maruti van, blocked her way and after passing some lewd comments, tried to pull her inside the van.
“ She tried to resist and managed to escape. But they hit her from behind and when she fell down, they ran the car over her, killing her,” an eyewitness said.
A native of Bijnore, Reeti was living alone in Rampur for the past few months.
“ We saw the entire incident and tried to catch them. But they were swift enough to pull out the car’s number plates and flee from the spot,” the eyewitness added.
Rampur senior superintendent of police (SSP), Dr Preetinder Singh, said: “ We have seized the vehicle from the spot. As the number plates were missing, we have sent the chassis and the engine number to the regional transport office to locate the owner of the van.” Reeti’s family, surprisingly, chose to register a case of death due to accident. “ We have not seen anything. How can we blame anyone? Let the police find out what happened,” Reeti’s father Vinod Sharma, said.
