Jolly’s 20-year-old son Amanpreet is one of the 11 victims of the deadly blast at the Delhi High Court. A law student at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Amanpreet had gone to the Delhi High Court to meet his senior.

A seriously injured Amanpreet was rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where he succumbed to the injuries sustained in the blast.
Jolly has been inconsolable. Surrounded by relatives and friends, Jolly is waiting for hospital formalities to get over to get the body of his son.
Amid the tragic and chaotic scene at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where most of the blast victims were rushed for treatment, stood Rakesh Kumar outside the emergency ward, waiting anxiously for the medical reports of his father Rajender Kumar who was injured in the blast.
“My father cannot hear, has received shrapnel injuries and has been operated upon. I was getting ready to leave for work when I got a call that my father was injured in the blast. My mother fell unconscious on hearing the news. I rushed to the hospital leaving my mother at home,” said Rakesh Kumar. Rakesh’s father had gone to court for a case.
Cries of relatives and victims of the devastating blast reverberated in the corridors of the hospital.
“My son lost his leg,” cried the father of Allauddin, 40. Alauddin had gone to the court in connection with a case related to his factory.
