I had asked my daughter to go to Ujjain on Holi, but she said that she has got only one day's leave, so she will not be able to go home and will celebrate Holi in Bhopal itself. We left for Ujjain at 7 pm. When we reached near Sonkachh, we got a call that the daughter has committed suicide,” he added..
