Inspector of Ghasa police station, Surendra Singh, said, "No case has yet been lodged in this matter. We are carrying out an investigation. Necessary action will be taken accordingly."
The father of the deceased, Raj Jatav (27), said, "A few days after reaching the kiln in Ghasa, my daughter fell sick. I repeatedly requested permission to take her to a hospital, but the owners and other managing staff refused every time," he said.

According to him, she passed away on Saturday. htc...
