A constable attached to the Local Arms Unit of Mumbai police, whose 19-year-old daughter died in a freak accident on Tuesday morning, has alleged that the Virar police did a shoddy investigation to weaken the case. “If they can’t ensure justice for their own men, what is the point of wearing the khaki,” said Constable Anil Phutane.

Siddhi Phutane, a resident of Virar West and a college student, had just dropped her brother Om, 10, at the Narshin Govind Vartak School in Virar West where he studies. The school had organised a picnic at Kidzania in Ghatkopar.
