NEW DELHI:

"My daughter should not have died like this. The man who did this should be punished in the same way. He should feel the same pain," said the victim's father, Surendra, struggling to hold back his tears.

Echoing similar sentiment, Kanta, the victim's mother, said, "He should be hanged. Only then my daughter's soul will rest in peace."
