Bent On Making Me Prostitute": Murdered Uttarakhand Teen On WhatsApp

in #wortheum2 years ago

WhatsApp text messages from the murdered Uttarakhand woman to her friend seem to confirm allegations that the teenager was being forced into prostitution by the accused men.
"They are trying to turn me into a prostitute," read one of her messages to a friend, to whom she was describing her experiences working as a receptionist at the now expelled senior BJP leader's son's resort.

Screenshots of text messages from the victim are doing the rounds, where she describes how she was being forced into providing "special services" to clients for Rs 10,000. Cops have said initial investigations indicate the messages are indeed from the victim, but a more rigorous forensic investigation is also being conducted
The victim also told her friend that she was inappropriately touched by a man in the resort, but the accused men asked her to not do anything as he was drunk.

An audio clip of a call recording reportedly from the victim to a resort employee has also gone viral. She can be heard crying on the phone, and asking the other person to bring her bag upstairs.
Uttarakhand top cop Ashok Kumar has also said that the 19-year-old receptionist, whose body was fished out of a canal this morning, was being pressured by the resort owner to provide "special services" to guests.

Earlier, a Facebook friend of the receptionist had reportedly said that the woman was killed because she refused to have sex with guests as demanded by Pulkit Arya -- the owner of the resort where she worked.
The same night that she called this friend, her phone went unreachable after 8:30 pm. When after repeated attempts the friend could not connect to her, he called Pulkit Arya, who said she had gone to her room to sleep.

The next day, when he reportedly called Pulkit again, his phone was found switched off as well. The friend then rang up Ankit, the resort's manager, who said she was in the gym.
