Even his mother can't digest the horrific manner in which Infosys security guard Bhaben Saikiya (27) killed young techie Rasila Raju OP in cold blood. 'I am no longer his mother.

Speaking to mid-day Saikiya's mother said, 'After the murder, my son called me and confessed to the crime. I told him not to run, that it would be better to surrender to the police.

Harassment by reporting officer at Infosys angle emerged in Rasila Raju's murder after cousin, who was last to speak to her, tells mid-day she was working late on an assignment that was her ticket out of Pune and away from undue pressure. Rasila wasn't thrilled about working alone on Sunday (January 29). In fact, she had told her family that she was often forced to put in extra time because her boss held a grudge against her. 'My transfer to the Bangalore office depends on my submission today. I should receive my transfer order by the first week of February,' Rasila told her cousin sister Anjali Nandkumar on the phone. Then, seconds later, she hung up with the words. Someone is entering my working bay, I will call you back.'
Two weeks after the murder of Rasila Raju, her friends and many youngsters came together to form a committee to seek justice for her. On Saturday, February 11, they plan to form a human chain at her home at Manchira (a village in Kottayam district). Her uncle said many youngsters from their village have come together to start the Justice for Rasila Raju Action Committee. Rasila's father Raju OP, who claims she was harassed by other employees, has said he is going to demand a CBI inquiry in the case, as he is not happy with the way the police are dealing with it, and he thinks it is because of Infosys. But Assistant Commissioner of Police, Geetanjali Mane, who is investigating the case, said they are doing their best
