Parents demand CBI probe

Parents of the three SAI trainees, who are undergoing treatment at a hospital in Alapuzha after they consumed a poisonous fruit in a suicide pact, today demanded a CBI probe into the incident.
"We are not satisfied with the inquiry conducted by the Sports Authority of India, Director General and the police inquiry being conducted," mother of one of the girls, who tried to end her life said.
She also dismissed the SAI DG's preliminary report that there was no ragging saying it was 'baseless'.
"The report is baseless. Attempt is being made to protect those responsible for the incident. They should be brought before law. We need CBI probe, otherwise the case will be sabotaged".

The deposition of the three girls undergoing treatment had not yet been taken and their suicide note, jointly signed by all the four, had not been taken into account, she alleged adding, they were prepared to even approach the court for getting justice to their wards.
Of the four girls who consumed the poisonous fruit, one of them -- 15-year-old Aparna Ramabhadraban -- had died. The girls had alleged mental and physical harassment by some seniors.
Meanwhile, the students of the Water Sports Centre at Alapzuha are undergoing counselling sessions to get over the trauma of the incident.
