Bengaluru, Nov 9: Krishnamurthy Poojary, the father of deceased Nandita from Thirthahalli has admitted that as a father there were lapses on his part which he regretted while talking to media persons in Bengaluru on Saturday.
“I should have lodged a complaint as soon my daughter was abducted with the details of the abductors. I feel that I failed to do this as a father of a child,” Krishnamurthy Poojary said in a press meet. He was in Bengaluru to meet the chief minister Siddaramaiah.
“I will try my best to meet the CM and brief him about the case. If not possible to have a meeting, I will leave a letter in his office. My first demand is that the culprits should be arrested.”Krishnamurthy added.
He dismissed the theory that his daughter consumed poison saying he was not a farmer to stock insecticides at home.
As per his narration to the press, Nandita had left his grocery shop at 9.05 in the morning on October 29. She reached Thirthahalli bus stand in the next ten minutes from where she was abducted. Later at noon, Nandita was found 5 kilometres away on a hill where an old lady spotted her. Krishnamurthy after receiving this information went to the spot and brought Nandita home. Nandita told the parents that she was abducted by some people who gave her water mixed with some substance.
Krishnamurthy said that his wife leaned that there was no rape on Nandita. When Nandita started vomiting in the evening and it did not stop till the next morning, Nandita was admitted her to a hospital in Thirthahalli. Later at 2 in the afternoon, Nandita was shifted to Meggan hospital in Shivamogga. And from Shivamogga she was taken later to a Manipal hospital where she breathed her last.
Krishnamurthy has blamed Suhan the brother of Nandita’s friend for all these things. He said Suhan’s two other friends are also involved in the case.
Krishnamurthy revealed that he did not belong to any political party and he did not work against Kimmane Ratnakar, the local MLA or for anybody during the last elections. Asked who Santosh Poojary the Bajrang Dal activist was, he said that Santosh was a distant relative.
Krishnamurthy again stressed that the death note was not written by Nandita as alleged. He said they did not have red ink at home in which the letter was written. And the language used in the note was not that of Nandita’s.
