Priya said that she was in a relationship with her boyfriend, Ashwajit, for over four-and-a-half-year. Earlier in the day, she urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “justice” and claimed that on Saturday night, policemen compelled her to sign something, but she refused.
“Last night some policemen came. They were trying to force me to sign something. I refused. Because I did not have a lawyer. Neither did anyone from my family. They were forcing me, saying that whatever will happen tomorrow, sign now. When I did not sign, they got angry and went away,” Priya said on Sunday. “I have great faith in the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister. I just want justice,” she said as quoted by news agency ANI.
A special investigation team (SIT) was formed on Sunday. “An offence has been registered under section 279, 338, 323, 504, 34 IPC. A primary investigation has been done by the local police officers… Today an SIT has been formed… We are investigating and inquiring all the witnesses… We have recorded 3 statements till now,” DCP Zone 5 Amarsingh Jadhav said.
