In the emotionally-worded statement, he said that his daughter was a brave girl who is now in a better place that’s devoid of caste, religion, money, jealousy, deceit and poverty.

Vijay Antony concluded the post by stating that she will be instrumental in the good deeds he’ll soon be doing in her name.
