Yogita's family alleges threats

The family members of Yogita Thakre, the girl found dead in a car at state BJP chief Nitin Gadkari's home on May 19, on Thursday alleged

that they were being threatened by unknown persons including some purporting to be policemen to withdraw the case or face dire consequences.

Yogita's mother Vimal, one of the petitioners in the ongoing case in Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court demanding for CBI probe into her daughter's death, also claimed before the media that the ‘police' were also harassing her other employers at Mahal and this may lead to her losing livelihood.

She works as domestic help in some local residences. She claimed that she had been threatened that she would be jailed and beaten up by police if the family did not withdraw the case.

Sources claimed that police were already gearing up to frame charges of negligence against Vimal, one of the drivers of the car, and a police guard in the case. The city police's investigation into negligence aspect was criticized and altered by High Court which directed the cops to complete the probe under charges of murder and destroying of evidence which they had earlier registered.

"There is no justice for the loss we have already faced. Some people claiming to be police are coming to our house and threatening us everyday.

They are threatening to get my daughters kidnapped and me jailed. For what? What is our mistake? Is losing our daughter our fault? Where is the person who killed my daughter," asked Vimal.
