Babita Deokaran's assignation prompted calls for the protection of whistleblowers. Despite her reporting death threats to her superiors, nothing was done to protect her. RIPBabitaDeokaran 🙏
A year since her murder, Deokaran’s family is still waiting for justice while the mastermind behind her assassination has still not been captured.
“Our entire family is still reeling with hurt and pain. And we still remember this very day last year when we received the call that our beloved was attacked and assassinated,” Haripersadh said.He said Deokaran’s murder has been particularly difficult for her teenage daughter, but the family chooses to honour her mother’s legacy.
Six men were arrested on 26 August in Rosettenville for Deokaran’s murder, but Haripersadh said this was not enough because the mastermind is not behind bars.
