Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh has been mourning 19-year-old Tarishi Jain’s death who was cremated on Monday evening.
Tarishi who died in the Dhaka terrorist attacks spent her childhood in Firozabad before her father shifted to Bangladesh for business.
There were speculations that Tarishi’s body will be brought to Firozabad for cremation, but her uncle Ajit Jain informed that her body was taken to Gurugram from Delhi airport.
The mortal remains were consigned to flames at a crematorium in Gurugram on Monday.
Haryana Education Minister Ram Bilas Sharma, Gurugram Deputy Commissioner T.L. Satyaprakash and other officials earlier this afternoon received Tarishi’s mortal remains at Delhi’s IGI Airport.
Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal, along with others, paid tribute to her at the community centre in DLF Phase-I, Gurugram.
The mood at the community centre was somber with relatives crying inconsolably while paying their tributes to Tarishi.
The minister was also seen consoling the aggrieved family members of the 19-year-old girl.
Tarishi, a student of University of California in Berkeley where she studied Economics, was in Dhaka on vacation. She had gone with two other friends to the Gulshan cafe where she was killed.
