Teenager's death: Furore in UP Upper House over 'police

The Chairman of the Upper House of the UP legislature today asked the state government to conduct an inquiry into the alleged delay by police in registering a complaint after a teenage girl, whose body was found yesterday, had gone missing.
Legislative Council Chairman Om Prakash Sharma said an inquiry should be conducted against policemen concerned for alleged laxity.
The body of the Class XII girl, who went missing on February 10, was found yesterday near the residence of the chief minister here.
Leader of the House Ahmad Hasan said the autopsy report suggested the girl was sexually molested.
He said, "The Uttar Pradesh government was sensitive and of the view that those committing such crimes should be given capital punishment."

Earlier, BSP members raised the issue during the Zero Hour and demanded that a two-hour discussion be held on it.

Leader of Opposition Naseemuddin Siddiqui said when the girl's family members approached police to file a complaint, the station house officer concerned said she might have eloped with someone.
"The girl was a niece of a senior BSP leader and former minister. When the leader pressured police, then only they registered an FIR, but no action was taken," Siddiqui said.
He said the victim's mobile phone was last traced in Haidergarh on February 13, and when help was sought from the Crime Branch, it "refused on the pretext of training".
