THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: R. Bindu, who was subjected to mental torture in a fake theft case in Peroorkada, has sought compensation of one crore rupees. The compensation has been sought in a written complaint filed with the Human Rights Commission. The complaint also requests that she be given a government job. Bindu had got a job as a peon at MGM Ponmudi Valley Public School. She joined the job today.
The Crime Branch report was released recently, providing a new twist in the fake theft case. The Crime Branch found that the chain was not stolen from the house in Peroorkada and that the police had fabricated a false story to trap the maid Bindu.
Omana Daniel, the homeowner with a memory problem, had forgotten the necklace, which was allegedly stolen, under the sofa in her house. The report also states that Omana Daniel later found the necklace herself. She had informed the police about this. The Crime Branch found that the police's claim that the necklace was found in the garbage bin behind the house was inaccurate. The report also states that action should be taken against Peroorkada SHO Sivakumar and Omana Daniel.
Omana usually keeps her necklace under the bed. However, on the day of the incident, Omana placed the necklace under the sofa. She then filed a complaint with the police stating that the necklace was missing. Later, during the investigation by the family, the necklace was found under the sofa. However, the police fabricated a false story that the necklace was found in the garbage bin to justify taking Bindu into custody and questioning her for a whole day, the report says.
