"The children needed to have some fun by lighting diyas and bursting crackers. Celebrating the festival is the best way of putting the incident behind them," said Rajendra. "The show must go on," he added.
After Sharma heard bullets being fired on the fateful night, he had rushed to inform the announcer about the situation. This led to the station being cleared of people faster. Sharma was shot as he was returning to his office in the TC's cabin.
