None should face this: Suja

Breaking her silence after an extremely traumatic week, Ms Suja Jones, wife of the arrested French consulate official Pascal Mazurier, told Deccan Chronicle that she would not wish this on any woman, Breaking her silence after an extremely traumatic week, Ms Suja Jones, wife of the arrested French consulate official Pascal Mazurier, told Deccan Chronicle that she would not wish this on any woman, mother or child. “It’s been extremely traumatic and I would not wish this on any woman or child,” she said.

Suja had lodged a complaint at the High Grounds police station on June 15 against her husband for allegedly raping their three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Pascal was arrested on June 20 and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. He is currently lodged in a special security block at the Parapanna Agrahara Central Prison.

“I will speak, but not now, to the media and others, about it all, more so to help mothers living in a similar situation. I will speak so that it helps them deal with their own situation. Since the case has been registered and the investigation is on, I choose not to pour my heart out now. I have to cope, there is no other choice. I thank my family, who are solidly behind me,” she said.

The victim has been going through counseling at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences since the incident. Meanwhile, the police have submitted the blood samples of Mr Mazurier to the DNA laboratory in Madiwala and the results will be out by next week, an official source said.

The laboratory will conduct two primary tests – regrouping of Mr Mazurier’s and his daughter’s blood to prove that he is her biological father and the ‘Y-STR’ DNA profiling to establish rape.

“The Pascal case hinges on the forensic report as the evidence against him is circumstantial,” said a senior police officer.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
