After her death, other inmates demanded compensation to her family. When the mediapersons went there to collect news, the Ara SDO prevented them saying he was dictator and no one can send news without his permission. He even snatched camera of a reporter of a local channel and erased all the footages. Civil Surgeon Dr Ras Bihari Singh himself visited the school and declared the student dead.
