Xiaomi Responded To Claims That Redmi 6A Exploded

The Youtuber dived a bit deeper into the family of the deceased saying...

Her family is extremely humble. Her son is in the Indian Army. They don’t know much. She solely uses her phone for calling and YouTube. Now if brands don’t take responsibility for their actions and don’t take responsibility properly, if a family has to battle for justice, what’s the use?"

Hopefully Xiaomi will be able to get in touch with the family. And support them the best way that they can in this difficult moment.
