Waiting without hope...

KURSEONG, Nov. 3: She knew he will never come back, even though as the elderly woman, who is in shock for the last four months, kept on waiting for him. She is today a lonely old woman living on the pension of her late husband and no one to look after her.

63-year-old, Bisash Thapa, resident of Lower Dumaram Busty-Kurseong is still waiting for her grandson who will never come back, as he was murdered four months back. Though aware of the fact the one question that frequently strikes her is who killed grandson and for what reason. The administration too has been unable to unfold the mystery. On 28 June, at around 4 p.m, her grandson, Upesh Thapa (15), left the house, on the ptetext of going to his friends place and that he will be back by 7 in the evening. Instead of returning home on 29 June, his dead body was found at the WBSEB store gate, near Kurseong Municipality office in the morning.

The question that arises is that even after a gap of four months, the police- administration is still unable to trace out the murderer of the Class 1X innocent of St Alphonsus School, Kurseong. In this connection, when a team of reporters visited the deceased's house and queried about the incident to the grandmother of the deceased, she said that it would have been better if she would also have been killed with him. Meanwhile, Mr Laxman Gurung her neighbour informed that several deputations has already been submitted to the police administration by the residents of Lower Dumaram Busty and several other organisation, but the administration has only made assurances .

According to police sources and post mortem report, Upesh Thapa was murdered with a rope fixed around his neck. Several injuries and cut-marks were spotted on his head, face and neck. The motive behind the murder possibly might be to rob his mobile phone {N-73} since his phone was missing. The Kurseong SDPO Mr Rajesh Singh said that inquiry is on
