According to her account, Bainsla’s car began following her and the occupants appeared to be intoxicated.

The family had expressed dissatisfaction with the police investigation, claiming that even 48 hours after the incident, the accused has not been arrested. They have warned that if the requested charges are not added to the FIR, they will approach the court.
