Shop owner files complaint, says losses incurred

Parlour owner Swami told reporters, “Kritika had been visiting our parlour for several days to have tea. I didn’t know she was the daughter of the recently murdered DGP Om Prakash. I’ve suffered a loss of around ₹7,000–₹8,000 due to the damage she caused.”

Swami closed the shop and approached the police to lodge a complaint. By the time officers arrived, Kritika had returned to her home.
