'I hope no parent has to cry in the wilderness as I did'
January 24, 2014  08:34

A severely disillusioned S J S Prasad, father of 23-year-old Esther Anuhya, whose burnt body was found off the Eastern Express Highway on the outskirts of Mumbai, said on Thursday that he did not expect police to ever catch his daughter's killers.

 

"I hope no parent has to cry in the wilderness the way I did,' Prasad said, as he recounted the ordeal of running from pillar to post from the time his daughter went missing to when her body was found in Bhandup. Esther, who worked for an IT firm in Mumbai, arrived at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus from her native Hyderabad at 5 am on January 5, and was last seen leaving the station to take an autorickshaw to her hostel in Andheri.

 

She never reached the hostel, and her mutilated, burnt and decomposed body was found off the Mumbai-Thane highway on January 16. Police have no clues or suspects so far, only several questions and a few theories of the murder. 

 

When Esther's relatives in Mumbai approached them on January 6, the MIDC police in Andheri told them to go to the Kurla railway police, who told them to go to the Vijayawada railway police because there was no evidence until then to show that she had actually reached Mumbai.
