Beg all to not play politics with my daughter's death, pleads Balaram
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|July 16, 2025
BALARAM Bisi, father of the 20-year-old girl who succumbed to self-immolation, on Tuesday urged people not to politicise the tragedy.
Amidst political mudslinging over the incident, a grieving Bisi said he has received all support from the state government so far but his fight for justice for his daughter will continue.
"My daughter is no longer alive. My family members and I are emotionally drained out and my wife is not well. We do not know how and when we will be able to come out of this tragedy. I beg everyone not to use my daughter's name anymore for political gains," he appealed.
