In a note dated June 28, Krishi revealed that she never imagined having to make a public statement during such a painful time. She explained that the constant speculation surrounding the incident and repeated demands for a reaction from her, her friends, and their families left her with little choice.
"I have neither the energy nor the mental strength to write this or even put this out into the world. The last thing I wanted to do during a time like this was make a public statement," she wrote. "But I find myself doing so because of the immense pressure, constant speculation, and repeated questions directed at me, my friends, and our families. At a time when we are simply trying to survive an unimaginable loss, we are being expected to explain it."
