......

My daughter..

...went to IIT with a lot of enthusiasm...

...she was very happy for the first few days...

...I had asked her to come home during the Bakr-Eid holidays...

...she said, "No ma I can't, I've exams here.. I might not be able to study if I come home.. so let me stay here"...

...but later before the Pooja holidays, she'd cry calling us... saying she wanted to come home...

...we booked her ticket immediately and brought her home...

...We were all so close together so I imagined she was homesick and she missed us...

...but she was still very gloomy even after having visited us...

...I knew my daughter was unhappy...

...but she didn't reveal anything to me...

...I didn't want to send my daughter away from me... I didn't want to...

...but I didn't want to stand against her dreams...so I let her go...

And they erased her...

...if she had only called us... we'd have brought her back the next moment...

...they abused my daughter that much...

...the students who usually used to go with her for dinner wasn't there with her that day...

...she suffered a lot of torture...

...she did tell me about S.P...

...she told me he made many students cry...but she never told me anything about her...she hid it...

...she said "Ma, he has made many students break and cry during the presentation on Logic"...

...I asked her to stay for another day... but she insisted she had to go because she had her presentation...

...I asked a friend in her group about her presentation...he said she did it well - she was good...

...like I said, she did mention prof SP's name several times...

...I really don't know what they did to her...

...I used to ask her about her teachers...she always said they were okay...I know she adjusts...

...during the initial days, she would be busy in the library and she wouldn't even pick her phone...

...but later on my daughter was calling me frequently...

...but she never revealed anything to me...

...she didn't tell because she thought I'd be worried..because her father was abroad and I lived by myself...

...even if I call her after ten minutes she'd keeping asking me whether Ma was fine.. whether Ma was fine...

...but she never told me anything about her...

...I'm unable to bear this...

...there should never be another Fatima...

...I'd seen incidents in the past and I know how agonized those mothers were...

...and I used to pray this never happens to anyone anymore...

...and it happened to me...

...my daughter's dreams...

...leave aside the dreams...I'd be sufficient with just my daughter....

...but they didn't give her back to me...

...my daughter wore churidar pants with elastic...she didn't know how to tie laces...

...my daughter didn't even know how to tie a lace properly...she didn't even know how to tie her hair...

...she just wanted to study...

...and now I'm seeing her like this (hanging from a rope)...

....

...whether it's her classmates or her teachers...everyone behind this should be brought infront of the law...

...nobody should walk free...this is all I want...

...my daughter is gone...but there should never be another Fatima...

...she was passionate about serving the society...the books she read from grade 8...

...this was the book [World Civilizations] she ordered for her next sem...

...she asked me that very evening if I had received it...

...she asked me to open and check it...I said let Chakku come home...

...she said no Ma, check it...

...then i called her at 10:15 and she said she had sem exams and she had to study...

...that was the last call i had from her...

...she prefers not to take calls while she studies...

...but they erased her...in every way...they broke her...

What did she tell you about Sudarshan Padmanabhan?

She tells me about all her teachers

...she mentioned SP along with them while she was talking about the presentation on Logic...

...she said he made other students cry among other things...

...but she said nothing about her.. I know she won't say...she worries about her Ma getting hurt...my daughter won't say...

...she won't say thinking it will hurt me... she didn't say... she didn't...

...she was gloomy when I called her...she'd say she wanted to come home...

...but she'd also say she had her exams...

...how could she have studied...her words say she was in pain...

...she wanted to study there...she wanted to pursue...but she was also suffering... she had too many conflicts to overcome that day...

...she didn't call her mother and ask us to pick her up...

...she was fighting it...

...we only came to know when she was gone...

...everything is there in her phone...all proof...

...we won't let anyone abscond...we are determined to go to any lengths for justice...

...nothing will go unrevealed...there should never be another Fatima...

...My daughter was determined about getting into IIT..

...the day she went to TVM for coaching, it was raining heavily and trains were called off...

...and I asked her to leave it and let it go...

...but she said Ma you can't stand in the way of my future...

...she was adamant...

...when she finally joined, we went and introduced her to her hostel, cleaned her premises...

...all four of us were weeping while returning back, including her father...

...but she didn't... my daughter boldly stood there with her files...fixated on her aims...

...it was that daughter that they brought back dead...
