Agra Commissioner Sita Ram Meena, Deputy Inspector General of Police Kamal Sexena and District Magistrate Mukesh Meshram were also present at the function.
S N Medical College principal Dr N C Prajapati, who supervised Vandana's treatment, spoke of the efforts of the doctors who restored her to full health.
