KADUTHURUTHY: The mood is generally pale as Hindu hymns play in the background in Vandana’s home. “Work was her life. She even dedicated days without sleep just to wear the doctor's robes. The convict should have been handcuffed. If so, nothing would have happened” a bereaved Mohandas explains even while knowing that nothing could bring back his only daughter to life.

"She rarely visited home. That was her life, a devoted one to work and serving people. Her friends were apprehensive about taking night shifts at work, but Vandana cared less and loved being at work. Occasionally she opened up about the difficulties in her profession but not even once did I expect such a fate for my daughter. These are times when I feel like dropping my ardent devotion to god. I used to fast during festival times. There was no point to any of it, it seems “ Mohandas stammers in between completing his words.

Mohandas deplored the health minister's statements and said "She should have carefully used the words since it is my only daughter. The pain got doubled hearing those words."
