Former minister Sulekha Kumbhare, also leader of a RPI faction, along with other women activists, gave a 72-hour deadline to the city police chief Ankush Dhanvijay on Monday to crack the Monica Kirnapure murder case.
Kumbhare and women activist Seema Sakhre vowed to launch an intense and aggressive movement demanding justice for the slain engineering student killed on March 11 at Shree Nagar in Nandanwan. Kumbhare, Sakhre and others met Dhanvijay at his office demanding to know the progress in the investigations so far. The women activists raised slogan against police inaction and failure of the investigators to make any progress.
"More than 72 hours have elapsed but no significant progress has been made in the case. The police at least should have been rounded up suspects," Kumbhare told CP and asked him to take prompt action.
The former Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) seemed to be in belligerent mood while CP Dhanvijay tried to placate her telling her about the initiatives undertaken so far. "The investigation lacks zeal," said Kumbhare. She had also acted tough when zonal deputy commissioner of police Ambadas Pote tried to intervene in the conversation.
Kumbhare urged the top cop to undertake proper initiative to break the ice to get the truth out from witnesses or onlookers or Monica's friends. "The blame has to lie on the cops if people are shying away from cooperating with them," said Kumbhare who did most of the talking.
"The police approach has put people off from helping the police. The attitude of cops to pressure the citizens or their witnesses has led to present scenario," Kumbhare told Dhanvijay. The former minister also suggested that the police chief organize a workshop at the college campus to regain students' faith.
Kumbhare blamed Dhanvijay for projecting helplessness. She also referred to state home minister RR Patil's attitude of portraying the helplessness of the department. "We gave the cops ample time and opportunity for making headway in the case but it seems police are acting in a lazy manner," she said.
Kumbhare said she would undertake a stronger aggressive movement if the cops did not find the culprits soon. "The students come from the places like Ramtek to study in cities and it is appalling if there is no security for them," she said.
Kumbhare and Sakhre later also visited Monica's home in Ramtek and consoled her parents. They assured the family of their support in effort to get the culprits behind bars.
