Udupi, October 27: Even a month after the mysterious 'suicide' of budding athlete Pruthivi Amparu, who allegedly hanged herself on Septembers 27, at her hostel room of SMS College in Brahmavar, the case remained unsolved.
The much-talked about suicide had led to a fear psychosis among parents whose daughters are staying at hostels.
Despite rigorous investigation on part of Udupi district police, who have failed to find out the reason behind this extreme step.
The severity of the issue had prompted Udupi Superintend of Police YS Ravi Kumar to handover the probe into the case to a team led by Kundapur ASP Ram Nivas. Though the team has completed the investigation, it has not submitted the report so far. Mr Kumar also stated that the police are yet to finalise the investigation report.
The arrest of a local youth, who allegedly had been harassing the girl, by sending SMSs too did not help in solving the case.
The unexpected suicide of 16-year-old girl who had just returned victorious from a sports meet held in Mandya, bagging second place in in javelin throw, had left behind a number of unanswerable questions. Till afternoon everyone had seen her in a jovial mood and she also had spoken with her parents over phone.
Local people had even expressed doubt whether it was a suicide or a murder, as generally sportspersons are believed to be brave-hearts and cope with any kind of situation.
The circumstance of Prithvi's tragic end had prompted the leaders of Billava community to strongly demand for a high level probe rather than handing it over to local Brahmavar police. They also had suspected foul play in the missing pages of Prithvi's diary, which is now in the passion of police
