The police may have caught Rehan Qureshi, the paedophile accused of raping and molesting 16 children across Thane and Navi Mumbai, but the survivors' ordeal is far from over. Their families, most of them poor, are running from pillar-to-post, despite having completed all formalities, for compensation from the government.

Though they have got assurances from the police and the government, many of them have lost hope for it. Families of eight survivors have applied for compensation. While survivors are still in trauma, parents face a battle on two fronts – seeking compensation and trying hard to ensure their child gets back to normalcy.
