Udupi, Aug 6: Important information has been unearthed in the mysterious death of Hazel Jyotsna Mathias, a nurse from Shirva, who died on July 19 in her residential quarters in the Al Miqua government hospital of Saudi Arabia.
According to the preliminary investigation by the Saudi police, it is evident that Hazel hung herself from a rod that was outside her room in the quarters due to the relentless harassment of a Saudi citizen.
The Saudi police have collected all related evidence and witnesses in this regards. It is learnt that the said Saudi citizen has been taken into custody and interrogated. However, the Saudi administration has not passed on any information in this regard to the family members of Hazel.
Death note reveals the truth
It is said that Hazel has clearly mentioned in the death note which she has written in both English as well as Konkani languages about the harassment meted out to her by the Saudi citizen. The Saudi police have got the Konkani part of the letter translated into English as well as Arabic languages and after going through the same, the letter is kept in a sealed envelope. Based on this letter and also other circumstantial pieces of evidence, it is said that the police have arrested the culprit.
It is also learnt that the possibility of repatriating the body to India in the near future is slim as the police have to complete their investigation, submit the report and the court has to give the final verdict.
"There is information that Hazel has died because of the harassment of a Saudi citizen. The Saudi police have to conduct a thorough investigation in this regard. The central government has to urge the Saudi government in this regard. International human rights associations have to raise their voice about this issue. Hazel should get justice at least now. Culprits should get punishment. I have urged the Indian Consulate in this regard," said Ivan D'Souza, MLC.
