The
brutal death of Esther Anuhya has once again shamed the nation that
another woman became a victim of the police indifference. The
23-year-old techie's highly decomposed body was discovered at a secluded
spot in in Bhandup, on Mumbai’s outskirts.
Esther Anuhya, hailing
from Hyderabad and working in Mumbai, went missing on January 5 after
reaching Lokmanya Tilak Terminus at around 5.30 am. She was supposed to
reach her hostel at Andheri, but never reached there. After trying to
reach her the entire day, her father filed a missing person's complaint
with the Vijayawada railway police. The missing persons complaint was
forwarded to the Kurla railway police and thereafter all the police
stations in Mumbai were alerted.
The missing techie's body was
discovered on January 16 that too due to the strong stench emanating out
of it. The body had decomposed very badly, making it impossible to
detect the manner in which she was murdered. Her private parts bore
marks of injuries suggesting sexual assault. Also from the pelvis down
the body was burnt. The evidence of the burning at the spot is visible
with the ground having turned black.
Police explored all theories
as to what could have happened to Esther Anuhya. The call data records
of the victim was scanned and police talked to all her relatives,
colleagues and friends who ruled out a love angle to the mystery. The
angle of a jilted lover was also explored but there were no links. Could
it have been a case of robbery and murder by a smooth-talking criminal?
Police was ruled out on this suggesting that she was too smart for
that.
The only theory that seems feasible is that the victim took a
taxi or an autorickshaw from the station to her hostel. On the way the
driver took her to Bhandup instead of Andheri, where Anuhya was robbed
and killed, even raped possibly.
Anuhya was an employee of Tata
Consultancy Services in Mumbai's Goregaon, working there since September
2012. For christmas, she had gone to her hometown in Krishna district
of Andhra Pradesh. On her return to Mumbai on January 5 she disappeared
from Kurla’s LTT.
