Young Woman Studying In US, Killed In Road Accident After Alleged Harassment
Home > News Shots > India newsIn a shocking case, a 20-year-old woman from Uttar Pradesh, was killed on Monday in a road accident in the state's Bulandshahr district.
The woman has been identified as Sudeeksha Bhati, who overcame many odds and hurdles to secure 98 percent marks in her class 12 board exams in 2018 and then went on to receive a full-time scholarship at a prestigious university in the United States.
As per NDTV reports, the family of Sudeeksha Bhati claim that the woman who died, met with an accident because two men on a bike chased the 20-year-old-who was on a separate motorcycle with her uncle; and they tried to harass her.
Sudeeksha, had returned from the US in June due to the novel coronavirus and was scheduled to go back in August. Her hardwork and dedication made her part of Babson College in Massachusetts after she topped her district in CBSE class 12 exam in the Humanities stream.
According to the family, the woman and her uncle left on a bike from their village in UP's Gautam Budh Nagar. They were on their way to a relative's place in Bulandshahr's Sikandrabad to get some academic papers from a school, when the incident took place, NDTV further reports.
"There were two men on the other bike. They were passing comments on her and were driving recklessly. When we crossed the Bulandshahr town, we entered a village. A bike then overtook us several times; the biker was driving recklessly. He then started performing stunts. I slowed my motorcycle but the other bike hit us hard. We both fell but my niece suffered head injuries. I could not recognise the driver of the other bike and he escaped shortly after we met with the accident," said Satender Bhati, Sudeeksha's uncle, recalling the moments before the accident.
After the news went viral, the Bulandshahr police have denied that harassment took place. However, they are investigating the matter.
"The police team that went to the spot had questioned eyewitnesses who had said a Royal Enfield Bullet was coming from the front and it suddenly stopped (near their bike) because of the traffic, which led to the accident. The body of the woman was sent for the postmortem. At that time when the accident happened, the relative or any eyewitness had not spoken about any harassment," said Atul Shrivastava, a senior police officer in Bulandshahr.
In a video uploaded by the police, Sudeekha's cousin who was with her at the time of the accident can be heard recounting the moments but he did not talk about the harassment the woman faced. Check out the post below:
