It took the police five-six hours of convincing Bahera and others that they would indeed take stringent action against the accused driver. The family finally relented and proceeded to do the final rites of the girl.  

“The police have registered a case when my girl was alive and arrested the accused who was then let out on bail. But my daughter is no more. We protested by demanding strict action against the driver and the owner of the van. The police assured us that they would take strict action. We demand justice for our daughter. The case is similar to the Worli and Pune hit and run case,” said Bahera.
