Where were you
when the unfortunate Arpita incident happened?
I was in my
house. My wife and I got up at 7 am and started our day, like any other normal day. Suddenly at 9
am, my daughter Vinita got a call from
Pankaj Jadhav asking if Arpita was at home. Can you beat that?
God! And then?
Vinita was in
office that time, and she called me to inquire if Arpita was home. I said 'No'.
I was puzzled that why had Pankaj called to ask such a question.
And then?
Then around
11.30, Vinita called me and she was weeping on the phone. She had reached the
spot where the incident happened.
How did she reach
there?
Pankaj had called
her at 9.30 am and she
discussed it with my other daughter Shweta. Both did not tell me anything about
it.
Why?
Because I had a
gall bladder surgery few days ago, and they were worried that the bad news
might hit me hard. But eventually, they had to tell me.
Did you know that
Arpita was dating Pankaj since 8 years?
No. But I came to
know about it when I shifted from Jamshedpur to Mumbai, about 3 years ago.
And then?
Nothing, I didn't
interfere in her life. She was young, successful- and I always felt that she
knew the difference between right and wrong.
Did she ever tell
you that she was having problems in her relationship, recently?
No, she did not.
In hindsight, do
you really think she knew the difference between right and wrong?
Maybe she made
one mistake, which was Pankaj Jadhav. But I still trust my daughter's instincts
and decisions. Something sinister must have happened that day that led to her
murder.
Are you sure it
was a murder?
Of course, in
fact, I have been insisting at the police station from Day 1 that Arpita was
killed by the five guys (Pankaj, Amit Kumar, Shrawan, Manish & cook
Krishna) who were with her in that house, that night. The state of her
clothes is a clear pointer to the gory stuff that happened within those four
walls. Someone killed her, someone fought with her, someone knows exactly what
happened and is not telling the cops- but everything points to nothing else but
murder. And do you know what?
What?
That Pankaj kept
telling Vinita that Arpita had committed suicide.
What kind of
justice should you get? I know that won't bring Arpira back, but still...
All those guys
should be tortured and cut as bakras.
Sorry to ask you,
but something you can say about your wife?
What
can I say? You can well imagine what she's going through. Life will never be
the same for us. We have lost everything.
