They joined in blood donation camp of JUDA in support of their concern. JUDA burnt effigy of “toxic system” outside Gandhi Medical College.
“We only want justice. Dr Aruna Kumar should be removed from OBGYN so that incident is not repeated. Dr Nandini, Dr Pallavi, Dr Apoorva, Dr Rekha also tortured our daughter.” Elder sister Lakshmi said, “Even after hard work for 36 hours, my sister was told that she was not fit to become a doctor.”
