No evidence of foul play but cops still on case in teen girl’s hanging

Natasha Nazamudeen

There is no evidence of foul play in the death of Natasha Nazamudeen, the 15-year-old girl who allegedly hanged herself in her bedroom three weeks ago, but police say they are continuing to look into the case, which has stirred protests.

But Mohamed Nazamudeen, the girl’s father, maintains his belief that she did not kill herself and he has said that the policeman who had arrived first at the scene the day his daughter’s body was discovered was shifting his statements.

He said that the police constable first told him that he had seen Natasha’s body lying on her bed in her room but later said that that he had seen it hanging from a beam in the ceiling.
