More than a week after his daughter's body was found decomposed and burnt in a swamp near a major highway on the outskirts of Mumbai, S Jonathan Prasad met the Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde to plead for help.

Shinde has written to Maharashtra's Home Minister RR Patil, asking for "swift action" and the identification of the killers of Esther Anuhya, a 23-year-old working with software major TCS.
