Bhopal: Slain RTI activist’s father expects no justice

The way the police were handling the probe created suspicion about their sincerity,he said.

Shehla was found shot dead inside her car in front of her house in the Koh-e-Fiza locality here on August 16.

Sultan said,“We belong to a lower middle class and lack the power to purchase or to influence a top politician or an official. We expect no justice.”

Sultan,a retired government officer,said he wanted a CBI inquiry.

After the murder,reports appeared in the local media that it could be a suicide,he pointed out and expressed suspicion that these reports could be based on the information given by the police. His daughter could not have taken her own life,he asserted.

He said no weapon was found on the spot yet media speculated about it being a suicide and that she was scheduled to go to the United States in the first week of September and had booked tickets. Suicide,against this background,was improbable,he said.

Also,Islam considers it utterly wrong to take one’s own life that too in the holy month of Ramadan,he said.
