Sudeeksha Bhati, a 20-year-old who topped in her class 12 exams, was recently killed in a heartbreaking road accident in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr after allegedly being harassed by bikers.
Sudeeksha, the student of Vidya Gyan School, was an exceptionally intelligent and bright student. After she passed out of school as a topper, she got admission to Babson College in Massachusetts in the USA on a full scholarship. Recently, because of coronavirus pandemic, she was in India.
She was a exceptionally intelligent student. It’s high time,these eve teasers be taught a great lesson. It’s a great loss to the nation and society. #JusticeForSudeeksha @myogioffice @Uppolice @dgpup @UPGovt @atulpradhansp @surendrasnaagar @dr_maheshsharma @myogiadityanath pic.twitter.com/bBCoEXzSxi

When the incident happened, Sudeeksha was with her uncle on a bike as she as going to Bulandshahr’s Sikandrabad. As per NDTV, Sudeeksha’s uncle shared the heart-wrenching details of the incident:
When we crossed the Bulandshahr town, we entered a village. A bike then overtook us several times; the biker was driving recklessly. He then started performing stunts. I slowed my motorcycle but the other bike hit us hard. We both fell but my niece suffered head injuries. I could not recognise the driver of the other bike and he escaped shortly after we met with the accident.
Belonging to a poor family, Sudeeksha was a promising student as she had topped in her 12th exams from Bulandshahr and was studying in the US on a scholarship of Rs 3.80 crore.

However, the police denied the claims of harassment. In this regard, Atul Shrivastava, a senior police officer in Bulandshahr, said:
The police team that went to the spot had questioned eyewitnesses who had said a Royal Enfield Bullet was coming from the front and it suddenly stopped (near their bike) because of the traffic, which led to the accident. The body of the woman was sent for the postmortem. At that time when the accident happened, the relative or any eyewitness had not spoken about any harassment.

Though the investigation is still on, no one would deny the increasing rate of crime against women in India. Recently, how a 6-year-old was brutally abused after her private parts being mutilated in Uttar Pradesh, it is heartbreaking how we are failing our daughters every passing day.
At IFORHER, we pray for the strength for the family, who lost their daughter and hope they will soon get justice. It is high time that our authorities take stringent steps against the culprits so that our daughters can live in their own country without fear.
