Through the last week, people from all over the world have written in asking how they can help Preeti and her two younger sisters. At the age of 4, Preeti spent three days looking after her siblings at home in Delhi, while they waited for their mother to return. Finally, somebody answered their mother's cell phone. It was a policeman. And he told Preeti that her mother had died in a taxi when it was rammed by a Mercedes convertible. The driver of that car, Dinesh Tanwar, ran away after causing the accident. He is the son of one of Delhi's richest politicians. He's now out on bail.
Preeti and her sisters are at a government-run welfare home, hoping that a distant uncle will adopt them.

For four days, she waited along with her younger siblings at home for their mother to return. They were alone. They had no food or water. Their 28-year-old mother, Meenakshi, was in a taxi that was battered, last Wednesday, by a Mercedes driven by Dinesh Tanwar. His father, Congressman Kanwar Singh Tanwar, was officially the richest candidate in the last assembly elections in Delhi. Till Sunday, Meenakshi lay in a morgue, unidentified. Her children waited at home for her to return. None of the neighbours came to help them. They were used to living alone and kept calling their mother on her phone but it was smashed in the accident.
