Jagmohan Singh, the father of 17-year-old Yash, demanded justice for his son, saying the teenager was his only child.

Speaking to ANI, Jagmohan Singh said, "My son's name is Yash, and he was 17 years old. He was in Class 12. I don't know what happened. He left the house at around 6:30-6:45 pm. He had gone with a friend to get fuel. About ten minutes later, I received a call informing me that he was in the hospital. When I reached the hospital, he had already passed away."

He alleged that his son was attacked with a knife and appealed for strict action against those responsible. "We want justice. He was my only son. I do private work, and I am from Himachal Pradesh. All I want is that whatever happened to my son should also happen to them (the perpetrators)," he said.
