Father of the girl, who was gangraped and allegedly burnt to death in Madhyamgram in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, today said he will not return to Kolkata and has accepted Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's offer of job in police at his native place.
"I have accepted the offer of a job as a police vehicle driver in my Samastipur district. I won't return to Kolkata," the father told reporters after an hour-long meeting with Kumar at his One Anne Marg residence this evening.
The parents and two kins of the girl today met the CM.
The girl's father praised Kumar for being kind towards them at this hour of tragedy.
"We had heard about him (Kumar) and his governance. He is true to what we had heard," the man, who plied a taxi in Kolkata, said expressing gratitude towards Kumar.
Urging the Bihar CM for doing his bit for a CBI probe into the incident, he expressed anger against the West Bengal government and said "We have no faith left in them after the incident."
