There is no law for us: Subashree’s dad

The scooter is still parked outside the house, the helmet that its rider used to wear dangling from it, but its owner, Subashree, is no more.
On September 12, the woman was run over by a truck after an illegal banner fell on her vehicle and she lost balance. Since then, her parents have failed to understand why the police have not been able to trace AIADMK politician S Jayagopal who had got the banner erected. To put the police’s efficiency in perspective, they tracked down and rounded up burglars from Madhya Pradesh who a week ago had broken into a businessman’s house in Nanganallur and were on the run.
“There is no law for the middle class and poor people in this country,” said Subashree’s father Ravi.
Politicians have visited the family after the tragedy, but Ravi said no one from the ruling political party had come to console them. “So I place my daughter’s case before the judiciary and pray that it punishes those who are responsible,” said Ravi.
Still living in trauma, Subashree’s mother Geetha said she gets nightmares. “Our loss is irreparable but we get letters and mails of support,” said Geetha, wiping off tears.
Once a happy household, raw emotions now run high here. Ravi, who often seethes in anger and then fights back tears, said their daughter’s death was an unplanned murder. “I was told that police have formed three special teams to nab Jayagopal and his brother-in-law Meganathan. But where is the culprit,” he asked, raising his voice only to be pacified by Geetha.
ALL THAT REMAINS: Ravi and Geetha said the courts must deliver justice. Parked in front of their house is Subashree’s scooter with her helmet, which she was wearing the day she died
