The hospital, however, denied that Nayak or any other member of the family visited Aruna. Nayak claimed that for 15 years after the November 27, 1973, sexual assault on Aruna by a ward boy that left her bed-ridden for life, she visited her in hospital regularly and so did Aruna's eldest brother, Balkrishna Shanbaug, a farmer in Haldipur in Karnataka. There was a small celebration in their Nehru Nagar Chawl near Peninsula Corporate Park when the court ruled in favour of keeping Aruna live.
