The mother of the deceased wrote in the last part of the letter, “Being a mother, it is a humble request to all the teachers, doctors, health officials, nursing staff of the medical college that if you have any information and evidence, please bring it forward because I feel that the silence of some good people boosts the morale of the criminals. With the message of standing with the movement of the medical society and the common people and on Teacher's Day, everyone.”
