New Delhi: Shalini Aggarwal is engulfed with sorrow and cynicism as she awaits the body of her mother Nalini, in her 60s, who was killed at the Delhi High Court blast.
“My mother bore the brunt of explosion as she was standing in the queue… Had my father been standing beside her, I would have lost both my parents,” an inconsolable Shalini said, sitting by her father Brijesh Aggarwal at their home in Sarita Vihar in south Delhi.
The elderly couple had gone to the court Wednesday regarding a property dispute case, when the blast occurred.
Nalini, a retired bank official, was rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
Brijesh, a retired official of the Central Water Commission, fractured his leg as he fell on the blast impact.
Shalini said she has no faith left in the system.
“I don’t know how can I make an appeal to this government. We never get justice. There is just one blast after another,” she said.
She said no amount of compensation can get her mother back.
“I don’t expect anything from them. The government measures life with money. We are from a well to-do family and money will not get my mom back,” she added.
