Udupi, October 8: Udupi Superintendent of Police Dr Ravi Kumar has brushed aside the allegations of conspiracy made by a few Billava community leaders over the missing pages of the diary of athlete Prithvi.
Billava leaders had cast doubt over the missing pages of the diary of the girl, who committed suicide at her hostel in Brahmavar under mysterious circumstance. They had alleged that the pages must be deliberately torn by the miscreants to cover up the issue and protect the culprit.
Dr Kumar said that there is no truth in such claims. “It is true that few pages are missing in the diary, but, those pages were not torn after Prithvi's death. That can be confirmed as there is continuity in her writings on the existing pages”, said Dr Kumar.
He said that if the pages were torn with intension of rescuing the culprits then they had to tear all the pages of the diary as the left out pages provides details about the mental harassment she went through by her coach and hostel warden and also contain the name of Misban, who was later arrested by police on charges of provoking Prithvi to attempt suicide.
He said that an independent investigation is on under the leadership of Kundapur ASP Ramnivas Sepet and its moving in the right direction.
