What can you tell to parents who've lost their children in such accidents? Friends who won't be able to talk to her anymore ? Neighbors who won't see that polite girl on their street ? How'll you tell a mother she won't be able to see her child again ? #WhoKilledShubashree pic.twitter.com/M4uaiUBTxw
