The father of the four-year-old who was allegedly sexually assaulted and murdered at Nasrapur in Pune district of Maharashtra has demanded the death sentence for the accused and appealed to political leaders not to visit his home to offer condolences until the sentence is pronounced. He made this statement in a self-made video, released on Sunday (May 3, 2026).
“We are currently in Dehu to immerse my daughter’s ashes. During this time, I’ve been informed by relatives and friends that several politicians have been visiting our home to offer condolences. I want to make one humble request on behalf of my family and myself; until my daughter receives justice and the accused is awarded the death penalty no politician should come to our home to meet us. We will only be open to meeting anyone, including politicians, once justice is served. Until then, we request that no visits be made to offer condolences,” the man said in the video.
