Sanjeet’s father threatens suicide if body not found

Kanpur: As police failed to find the body of murdered lab technician Sanjeet Yadav even after five days, his father on Wednesday threatened to commit suicide along with his entire family if “justice” eludes them for long.
Sanjeet’s father Chaman Singh told reporters that first they will meet chief minsiter Yogi Adityanath with their demands. “If even after meeting the CM we will not get justice, we will commit suicide by setting ourselves ablaze in front of Vidhan Sabha in Lucknow,” Singh said further.
The police could not recover the body of the deceased even after five days.
Chaman Singh further said, “It’s not only the body, the police till date have not recovered his other belongings including his bag and ATM card. Police have only recovered his bike.”
Pointedly, Sanjeet’s family had alleged that when he was kidnapped on June 22, they were asked by the police to arrange a ransom of Rs 30 lakh and hand it over to the kidnappers. They claimed they threw a bag containing the cash on a road from the top of a flyover as instructed in the presence of police, who could not prevent the kidnappers from escaping with the bag and also failed to get back Sanjeet.
Sanjeet’s mother and sister said they had sold jewellery and property to arrange the ransom money.

According to the police, the kidnappers killed the youth last month, on June 27, a few days after abducting him, and dumped his body in the Pandu River.
