OCR death: It's suicide, say police

LUCKNOW: Police say it is a routine case. Residents insist there is something fishy. And, in between, youngsters continue to fall to death from the twin towers of the OCR in Hussainganj more frequently than ever.
Little wonder, the police on Tuesday virtually closed the investigations into the latest case in which a teenaged girl ''fell to death'' from a top floor of OCR B-block on Monday.This incident has been dismissed as a mere ''accident'' or ''suicide'' by the police even as residents continue to be haunted by an uneasy calm enveloping the locality.
Over half a dozen persons have died during the last three years after hitting the ground from one of the top floors of the twin towers, two of whom were teenaged girls. Though there were two instances where the victims were found carrying suicide notes on their person, the deaths of two teenaged girls remained a mystery.
Interestingly, while sending the body of the girl who died on Monday for autopsy, police had claimed that they would seek a specific comment on the sexual status of the deceased by experts conducting the post-mortem examination. This came following pointed queries by mediapersons.
However, on Tuesday, police outrightly denied having made any such commitment and claimed that there was no such need as the kin of the deceased had not expressed any such suspicion. The case appear to be an open and shut one.
