Force criticised for failing to reinvestigate 1981 abduction of Vishal Mehrotra despite ‘significant’ new evidence
The family of a murdered schoolboy have criticised the police for a “baffling” failure to reinvestigate the case despite “significant” new evidence coming to light 42 years after he disappeared.
The material includes the discovery of a document, titled Vishal, written in 1983 by a man convicted of child sexual offences about a boy he was abusing. The podcast, which launches on Monday, identifies other sexual offenders who were part of this man’s group in Sussex at the time Vishal was killed, some of whom also had links to west London. One of these men went on the run while being questioned by police and was tracked down by the podcast team in Sri Lanka.
Vishal’s brother, Suchin Mehrotra, said he was “baffled” at Sussex police’s response and that his family felt they had been “fobbed off so consistently” by the force.
