00:00My first guest tonight is Eena Markan, who I spoke to earlier.
00:03She's the deceased Sahil Dhaneshra's mother.
00:05And I began asking Eena Markan,
00:08Ma'am, before we all came, your son died on the 3rd of February.
00:14You put out a video yesterday calling for justice.
00:19You were asking for new things. That's gone viral.
00:21What made you take the call to do a video and put out what you felt out there in public,
00:28ma'am?
00:28Why did you take this video?
00:59Nothing. My entire world is gone.
01:02I'm just zero.
01:05Puri life.
01:06Takke kaha kaha kaha single mother.
01:08I had kya kya kare ke mne bachche ko paala hai.
01:11Mane hostels me usko achchi education diya, expensive education diya.
01:16To see him flying in the open sky.
01:24To see him on heights.
01:33And my son was about to fly. He was counting days. Even me, I was counting days.
01:42You wanted your son, ma'am, to be a pilot.
01:46But may I ask you, ma'am, in this past week, since Sahil's tragic death,
01:51have people around you in society or someone in the police, government come express solidarity with you?
01:58Are there people out there who are saying that we are with you today?
02:02Are there people out there who are with you today?
02:09Are there people out there who are with you today?
02:12I don't know what happened.
02:13What happened to you today?
02:14In that day, there was a little local news report and it was a little late.
02:20Because I was shocked by watching my son, my son.
02:26I was waiting for my son to take a bite of my son.
02:28I waited for 27 hours a day and waited for me.
02:31I was waiting for the son to take a bite of his son.
02:35He was going for my child.
02:37I was going for my child.
02:40When I took my child to the dead body,
02:44I was going for 10 minutes.
02:47I got to take my child for my child.
02:51He was 4 hours in the hospital.
02:55Ma'am, one of the reasons why the accused driver has got bail
03:00and is appearing in the board exams.
03:02He is underage.
03:04He is only 17.
03:07Therefore, he may well get away with a much lighter punishment
03:11because he is a juvenile.
03:12How do you respond to that?
03:18He is on the edge.
03:20He can't be called minor because multiple tracks are there against him.
03:25He does the same activity.
03:28He has multiple tracks.
03:30And everywhere his name is mentioned.
03:32His father's name is mentioned.
03:34So, it can't be considered normal juvenile.
03:37This is not a normal case.
03:39And he has multiple tracks.
03:41He has all the footage.
03:43Because when he comes online,
03:45he gets the footage.
03:47He gets the footage.
03:48He gets the footage online.
03:50So, he gets the footage.
03:51I request the media.
03:52I request the footage.
03:53In other states,
03:54we will get the footage.
03:56I have two states of his own.
03:59Check all the details.
04:00Check the footage of his father's history.
04:03Because the kids see them in the house.
04:08So, if he has seen them on his own.
04:10When I saw my father's manipulations, they would be able to steal money from his parents.
04:15Maybe some of them would impact the child's mind that my father would be able to steal money from his
04:20parents.
04:23So, you have to remove his father's history and his car's history.
04:28And the case of his car will come in front of him.
04:46you are saying of course that this this underage driver had several
04:51challenge this is not one case but the video that you have put out ma'am in
04:56public domain the accused driver's family suggests that it was your son who
05:02was trying to overtake a bus when his bike rammed into the speeding SUV that it
05:07was not a case of rash driving how do you respond to that video
05:16my son is not overtaking I'm sorry you are giving a wrong statement here my bus my
05:22son is not overtaking the bus is very slow we have complete footage
05:26that's why I am not overtaking the bus is very slow and my son is behind the bus
05:33and he is in line so my son is behind the bus and there is a red line
05:40so the left side is already stuck and the right side is running the bus
05:45that is very slow and at one point my son is running the bus
05:50when he is running the bus only towards the right side is in place
05:55to see the bus and he is watching the bus and an hour he has got shot
05:58and you can clearly see it in seconds
06:01and what you have been saying and I have been watching your videos ma'am
06:08the roads are not safe that the road is not safe that the road is not safe
06:12what happened to your son in the national capital sadly could happen to anyone else
06:16Am I correct that today it is your pain that you are expressing in the way you are
06:21But the real tragedy is that in this country this could happen to anyone else
06:26Because of this rash underage driving
06:32Definitely, definitely, definitely it is
06:35Our children are not safe
06:37Because of this, our children are not safe
06:40This money's warm
06:54This is not accepted
06:56This is not accepted
06:58This is not accepted
07:12Ma'am, I'm going to ask you what would be true justice for you in a case like this?
07:25I want them behind bars.
07:27We should go behind bars for a long time.
07:31We should go behind bars for a long time.
07:34We should put them in a long time.
07:43We should go behind bars for 2-4 months, 5-6 months.
07:48We should go behind bars for 2-4 months, 5-6 months.
07:48We should go behind bars for 2-4 months.
07:49We should go behind bars for 2-4 months.
08:00What a stupid statement he is giving.
08:04He is running such big business and he don't know.
08:07And why he don't know?
08:09Then why you gave a birth to a child when you can't take care of him?
08:15You will leave him for criminal activity.
08:19You have a message today to the people of the country who are listening to you. What will you tell
08:24them?
08:26I request the entire nation, people of Dwaraka and everywhere.
08:34In any state, anywhere in any country, in any place, in all of the whole, in India or in all
08:40of the whole world.
08:43I should not do these things.
08:46I request all of my parents to watch it,
08:50watch my child's last road on the road,
08:54and see the video on my child's last road.
09:04That's horrible! To see any child like this. You see that video.
09:13I am aware of the pain you felt. I am a father of two as well.
09:18I can sense your pain. I want to express my sympathy and thoughts with you as a parent at this
09:24moment, ma'am.
09:28No parent should see such bad shape of the children. Oh my God! Look at this! Oh my God!
09:43See this! See this! I want to ask the nation to see this!
09:49Will you see your children like this? Like this on our roads?
09:55Stop it! Come forward! Spare time to save your children.
10:01Don't be so busy that one day you might be at my place.
10:06Don't take that chance! Wait! Don't stop! Don't stop! Come forward!
10:20Ma'am, Ina Makan ji for joining me on the show tonight.
10:24As I said, your tragedy is a tragedy that should be felt by millions out there.
10:30Road accidents and road murders, murder as it's been called.
10:36Need urgent attention. Hopefully your videos and your pain will force the system to recognise the extent of the problem.
10:45But for now, for joining me here tonight. Thank you so much, ma'am. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
