New Delhi : The mystery over Delhi girl Devyani Narang’s death in Kanpur Saturday deepened further Sunday.
A friend of Devyani claimed that she had received a message from her saying she “was fed up with the life and want complete peace.”
Devyani’s classmate at Delhi’s Bhatnagar International School, Garima told some television news channels that she had received an SMS from Devyani from Lucknow saying, “I’m fed up with all these things in life. I want complete peace.”
Explaining, Garima told news channels that Devyani was upset with some eve-teasing incident, involving one of her male classmates in the school.
Devyani was found dead Saturday on the outskirts of Kanpur on the bank of the Ganges with broken limbs. The local police maintained that she appeared to have slipped off a 50-ft-high hill on the riverbank, while taking pictures on her mobile phone.
The XII standard student had left for Lucknow’s City Montessori School (CMS) Nov 13 to participate in an inter-school function there with some of her schoolmates and teacher Krishna Shahu.
While having her lunch in the CMS hostel, she received a call on her mobile and she left the dining hall to answer the call. But she never returned and was found dead in Kanpur next day.
As she failed to return, her schoolteacher lodged a missing person report at a Lucknow police station.
Meanwhile, Devyani was cremated Sunday here.
Her father Sunil Narang, who runs a chemist shop in south Delhi is yet to figure out how did her daughter reach Kanpur.
“I had sent her just to Lucknow,” he said.
While authorities at Delhi’s Bhatnagar International School remained tight-lipped, CMS, Lucknow Principal Jyoti Sahni sought to wash off her hands from the incident.
“What can one do, if a student, coming from outside the city changes her school uniform and quietly slips out of the school premises,” she said adding such an incident had never happened here.
