Search continues: Victim untraced
Thriuvananthapuram,Dec 01,2003
The famed educational institution of
the state,College of Engineering Trivandrum(CET),was buzzing with activity
today,as the local authorities and the police were frantically searching the violet
umbrella lost by a female student of the college,Ms.Divya.V.J. It has been
brought to this reporter's notice that Ms.Divya is a person who takes extreme
care not to lose her things and her friends do agree to that.Under these
circumstances,it has become a mystery as to how she could lose her umbrella.The
police have already made an F.I.R and efforts are on to nab the cuplrit,if it
is indeed a case of theft as the police suspect.All the people who were
believed to have been in the vicinity of the umbrella are being questioned and
we have been informed that a student whose name has not been disclosed,is being
detained in custody. There are also rumours going on that it might be a
purposeful ploy to get the female student drenched in these rainy days.It is
said there indeed have been some verbal duels between the victim and some
unidentified students in the issue of the umbrella and the rain.The police are
investigating the above said incident quite seriously.
Meanwhile,Mr.S.K.Mohan,has gone public and announced a handsome reward to
anyone who could give information about the umbrella's whereabouts.The media
persons are totally impressed by the Principal's gesture and feel that this
just goes on to show the strong teacher-student relationship that exists in the
college.Meanwhile,we could see a large number of students running about here
and there looking for the umbrella. The S.F.I unit of CET have decided to
launch a protest against the inefectiveness of the police in solving this case
and have extended their full-fledged support to Ms.Divya in this issue.All the
other student bodies have also promised their support to Ms.Divya in this
issue.Meanwhile,Ms.Divya has not been available to give her thoughts on the
issue. The police are doing everything they can and have assured us of a
positive result to the case.They have already collected the water droplets that
fell on the umbrella and have sealed off the place where the umbrella is
supposed to having been kept.In the unlikely issue that they fail to solve the
case,The Hon.Chief Minister has assured Divya that the case will be handed over
to the CBI and the umbrella will be recovered. We feel for the unfortunate girl
who may have to go to college totally drenched this december....At the same
time,we sincerely hope that this case also goes into the stack of unsolved
mysteries and that the police go about their work sincerely.Let's hope that the
days are sunny for the sake of this poor girl...For CGPU news...this is your
very own reporter.. KARU
