Bengaluru :
About 9,000 km away, Bengalurean Arun Kumar helplessly heard his wife Prabha, 41, crying for help on the phone when she was being stabbed inside the Paramatta Park, Sydney , on March 7.
Eight months on, Arun, his 11-year-old daughter Meghana and in-laws visited the park on Sunday as the pathway was named after the 41-year-old techie who was killed when she was walking through it. It was an emotional moment for the family of the Bengalu ru techie to witness the nction where memorial function where plaque was unveiled in the memory of Prabha. The New South Wales (NSW) government had made arrangements to fly Prabha’s family members to attend the ceremony . “This shouldn’t happen to anyone else and it shouldn’t have happened to my wife either,” said Arun Kumar, in his address to the media.
Prabha would have turned 42 on Saturday. The pathway links Argyle Street and Amos Street. Prabha’s killer is still at large. Arun Kumar made an appeal to people to come forward and share information with the investigating authorities.”She was very caring; she sa crificed many things, especially by staying away from family , for us. But we are happy that she will be remembered here,” he added.
When asked how their daughter was coping with loss, Arun said: “She is moody but we are taking care of her.”
The investigation into the case has not yielded any result so far. NSW police have not been able to ascertain the motive behind the murder. According to them, the case is open and all angles are still being probed.
“We are happy that the lane way has been named after Prabha and a plaque has been installed at the site where she was senselessly murdered, but our community is disappointed that culprit(s) have not yet been found. We urge NSW police to put every effort in finding out the perpetrators and bringing them to justice. Our true tribute to Prabha will only be fulfilled when perpetrators are arrested and charged,” said Dr Yadu Singh President, Federation of Indian Associations of NSW.
