Mumbai: The scientist from the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) who had gone missing from her residence after accusing her seniors of harassment, has returned to her residence in Nerul, Navi Mumbai from Puducherry, to where she had been traced, police said. Police will now record the statement of Babita Singh, 30, who had gone missing since January 23, Prashant Khaire, DCP (Zone-1), said.
Before her disappearance, she had sent an email to her brother and colleagues on January 23 accusing her seniors of harassment and saying she preferred “to end life in one shot instead of dying everyday”. Her cell phone was also found in her residence. Her family members had approached Nerul police station and had lodged a missing person’s complaint.
However, Babita decided to get in touch with her family after reading reports about her disappearance in the media. She called her brother on January 26 and told him that she was in a Puducherry ashram and had taken the step as she was fed up with harassment by seniors, police said.
“Now its up to her whether she wants to lodge a complaint of harassment against her seniors. Otherwise it will be BARC’s internal administrative issue,” DCP Khaire added. — PTI
