seven-year-old kid was found dead inside a car belonging to state BJP president Nitin Gadkari.
The HC expressed surprise over police department's efforts to file a case of negligence against Yogita's mother, police guard and driver of the car. The court asked the cops to take a fresh look at their decision and inform about it by October 1. The petitioners — Vimal and Ashok Thakre, parents of the deceased — had prayed for a CBI inquiry into the death of their daughter.
According to the petitioners, Yogita's body was found in the evening on May 19 inside a vehicle on the premises of Gadkari's residence in Mahal while her mother Vimal, a maid servant, was busy in her work in the area. However, it took police over six hours to formally register a complaint. Even after that, the cops were allegedly found wanting in the investigations and led the evidence to get destroyed. They also failed to seize the vehicle in which the body was found. Shockingly, they first registered a case of accidental death, then making a U-turn, made it a murder case and again on Tuesday, the cops came back to their original stand stating that Yogita's death was "accidental smothering". And hence, the petitioners were pressing for a CBI inquiry into the episode.
