Led by Saryara Sabha president, Bahadhur Lal Dalotra, relatives of Suneha along with locals of Bahu Fort staged protest and blocked the road near Saryara Sabha Press Morh by burning tyres on the road for around 3 hours.
The people alleged that an over speedy mini-bus hit the victim, who is an orphan and living with her elder sister after death of parents. The young girl is battling life at hospital in Amritsar, her both legs are crushed by a insane driver but no one from police or Matador union came to her family to know the status of her health.

Protestors alleged that matador union and police are hand in glove and there is something fishy, as the police did not take stern action against drivers for rash driving. “This is not the first case of rash driving, few month ago a matador hit an elderly person who later succumbed to injuries in hospital, we need justice and the persons behind the accident should be booked under law,” they demanded.
The protesters demanded compensation for the treatment of Suneha and legal action against the driver.
Meanwhile, SHO Bagh-e-Bahu, Bimal Indu reached the spot and pacified the agitated protesters, who after getting assurances from police and administrative officials lifted the blockade.
