"Mere naam ka matlab akalmand hain (My name means being mindful)," 21-year-old Daanishtha Siddiqui says with a wide grin. She shot the video which showed how at least 25 men from the Hindu Gujjar community brutally attacked her family on Holi in Gurugram's Bhondsi district.

Daanishtha believes she saved the lives of her family members because she began to shoot the mindless violence which allegedly began after a heated argument over a cricket game.

An FIR has been filed for offences including rioting and attempt to murder, among others, at the Bhondsi police station. While investigations are underway Daanishtha tells The Quint how she was quick to think, act, and preserve evidence when everyone wanted to get hold of her.
