Surat: Even after a month of the alleged gang rape of the 18-year-old girl in Vaccine Institute ground at Vadodara has elapsed, cops are yet to identify the accused.
Meanwhile, the forensic lab has handed over data of five cell phones to the special investigation team which has started analysing databases including social media chats. The girl was allegedly raped on October 28 going by the sketchy details mentioned in her diary.
Her body, which was found hanging in D-12 coach of Gujarat Queen Express, was recovered on November 4.
However, the victim mysteriously did not inform about her alleged rape to her friends of family before taking the extreme step.
Police seized 11 cellphones from people who were in regular touch with the victim and sent it to FSL to retrieve data. Of these, FSL retrieved data from five phones and handed it over to the special investigation team. Investigators started analysis of data including social media chats, sources said.
IGP Subhash Trivedi, however, refused to comment on the sub judice matter when TOI contact him for more details.
Details about the incident in her diary described how the victim was knocked down by an autorickshaw when she was riding her bicycle before she got kidnapped. During investigation, police found a bus driver who spotted the girl on the Institute ground and also saw two persons fleeing the area.
Considering the seriousness of the crime, more than 25 different teams of different investigation agencies besides police teams from Local Crime Branch (LCB) of Government Railway Police (GRP), detection of crime branch (DCB) of Vadodara city police and Ahmedabad city police. Senior officers like Parikshita Rathod and Subhash Trivedi are also supervising the case and recently MoS for home Harsh Sanghvi too visited Vadodara to gather details about the progress in the case.
The victim was doing her fellowship with an NGO named OASIS in Vadodara. Police have so far detected that she was first kidnapped from Jagdish lane while she was going to her hostel and after the gang rape, an ST bus driver helped her reach her friend but she refused to file a police complaint.
