/ Lucknow

A week after Unnao double murder case, the third victim, who had been battling for life at Regency Hospital in Kanpur, regained consciousness and recorded her statement before the magistrate. Roshni (17) stated she, along with her 2 cousins, had gone to the field on Feb 17 at 3 pm. “After we collected fodder, Vinay alias Lamboo and Sachin came there and gave us snacks (kurkure). When I asked for water, Vinay gave me the bottle. After I drank the water, my cousins snatched the bottle and drank it too,” she said.

“After some time we started vomiting and sinking. Vinay and Sachin fled. Then I became unconscious and don’t remember anything that happened thereafter,” she told the magistrate. Asked if Vinay and Sachin had beaten them or sexually assaulted them, she said, “We would have taught them a lesson had they tried anything wrong with us. It happened accidentally that my cousins too drank that water,” she clarified.

SP Anand Kulkarni claimed ‘SulfoSulfuron’ was used to poison the girls, as per FSL report.
