Surat: The mobile phone of Urvashi Gaikwad, who ended life on April 13 in her hostel room at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT), is believed to contain important clues that could unravel mystery behind her suicide.
The Surat police will be sending the password-protected phone to forensic science laboratory (FSL) to unlock it.
They tried to unlock the phone with help of family members but failed. The cops are yet to examine Urvashi's call details and find out with whom she last talked before taking the ghastly step.
"The phone is an important evidence and can unravel details about her possible harassment. If police can unlock it and find out her communication details of messages and calls I hope that something concrete will come out," said Raju Gaikwad, Urvashi's father. The family is puzzled over reason behind Urvashi's suicide and wants police to investigate it in detail.
Meanwhile, police are trying trace the person who sent an email to the SVNIT authorities alleging that Urvashi was sexually harassed and it was the reason for her suicide. Police visited SVNIT to find out if any student studying in the institute had sent it. Police are yet to receive any reply from SVNIT.
"Urvashi's phone is being sent to FSL to unlock it. Police tried to unlock it but we could not get through. To recover the data safely we are taking help of FSL," said G A Sarvaiya, police inspector, Umra police station. Police so far could not find any reason behind Urvashi's death, who had hanged self under mysterious condition.
