Puri: Two days after an 18-year-old girl Radhika Kushuwa’s body was found on a beach in Odisha’s Puri, her family on Monday demanded a CBI probe, alleging that was kidnapped and killed by pouring acid on her.
According to sources, Radhika, a resident of Madhya Pradesh, was found lying face down in her undergarments with severe injuries on November 26. She was reportedly visiting Puri with her parents and brother and they stayed at a hotel there.
She went missing on November 23 while having gone out to pick up her clothes. When she did not return, her family began searching for her.
Her body was recovered by police on November 26. Her father Prahlad Kushuwa identified her from her earring, gold nose pin, red ribbon on her hand, and a black ribbon on her ankle.
He alleged that Radhika was kidnapped and killed using acid as well as raised questions over the postmortem being conducted before the family’s arrival. “We demand a CBI probe into our daughter’s suspicious death,” he told the media.
“Her face was burnt with acid and her fingers were mutilated,” Jagran quoted the victim’s brother as saying.
Meanwhile, locals protested in Bhopal demanding justice for the victim.
