Later, Tulsi requested additional support for electrical appliances. In response, she received a WhatsApp message confirming that items such as lights, fans, and switches would be sent. However, on Thursday (December 19) night, Tulsi was handed a package by a delivery person who claimed it contained the promised appliances.
