New Delhi: Through the last week, people from all over the world have written in asking how they can help Preeti and her two younger sisters. At the age of 4, Preeti spent three days looking after her siblings at home in Delhi, while they waited for their mother to return. Finally, somebody answered their mother's cell phone. It was a policeman. And he told Preeti that her mother had died in a taxi when it was rammed by a Mercedes convertible. The driver of that car, Dinesh Tanwar, ran away after causing the accident. He is the son of one of Delhi's richest politicians. He's now out on bail.
Preeti and her sisters are at a government-run welfare home, hoping that a distant uncle will adopt them.
