UP police arrest two in US student's 'accident' case

After uproar on Sudiksha Bhati's death in Uttar Pradesh, the state police arrested two and ruled out eve-teasing. However, the victim's father maintains his claim of heckling.

Bulandshahr:Two persons have been arrested in connection with the death of a US student Sudiksha Bhati who died in a road accident on August 10.

While the police maintained that the girl had lost her life in an 'accident', her father Jitendra Bhati claims that she was heckled by two men on a motorcycle who were following her and her uncle.

As public pressure mounted, the police began investigations and checked out more than 10,000 Bullet motorcycles that were registered in the area.

It was found that one motorcycle in the area had not only been modified after the incident but also repainted.

The youths who owned the two-wheeler denied that they heckled Sudiksha but said that the accident took place because of a truck that was coming from the opposite direction.

SSP Santosh Singh said that the details of the case would be divulged later, but still maintained that this was not a case of eve-teasing.

Sudiksha Bhati, a resident of Greater Noida, was studying at Babson College in Massachusetts and had returned to India in June.
