Why did a girl die from a 68-day fast in India?

Indian police are investigating the parents of a 13-year-old girl who died last week after undertaking a religious fast for 68 days. They say they want to know if Aradhana Samdariya was forced to fast. Her parents have insisted she voluntarily fasted as prescribed in the Jain religion. Nitin Srivastava told us more from Delhi.
