I thought she was the daughter of a resident and went down to stop her from dirtying her clothes. When I asked her where she lived, she said she had run away from her employers in Tower O because they would beat her often. She was hiding in the basement all night and came out only in the morning” said Bansal.

After this Abhimanyu informed his neighbour, Tarun Rai who is another resident of the society about the girl. Then Rai 1098 but couldn’t connect with them.
