Soumya murder: Wait for justice gets longer

New Delhi: A month after the mysterious murder of TV journalist Soumya Viswanathan, the police claim to have identified the sequence of events on that fateful morning. But with no motives or culprits emerging so far, for the friends and relatives of Soumya, the wait for justice is only getting longer.

A month after Soumya was shot dead in Delhi’s Nelson Mandela Road, there are still no leads as to who killed the young journalist when she was on her way back home after office on September 30.

But Soumya’s close friends like Snehashish are not losing hope.

“We know the police is trying hard, but as time goes by what is unsettling is that the killer is still at large,” Snehashish said.

For the Delhi Police's special investigation team, this case is an uphill task.

Even after a month, no new eyewitnesses have come to the fore. However, the police have put 2,000 callers, whose phones were active along the Jhandewalan-Mahipalpur stretch at the time of Soumya's murder, under scanner. But this, too, could turn out to be blind chase.

The police though, are sounding hopeful. DCP, South Delhi, HGS Dhaliwal said, “We have reached the exact sequence of events and hope to crack the case soon.”

But until police comes up with a clear answer on the motive or the culprits behind Soumya's murder, the struggle for justice will be on.
