About Sturm's bound

$begingroup$


The next theorem is known as Sturm's bound.



Theorem:Let $mathfrak{m}$ be a prime ideal in the ring of integers $mathcal{O}$ of a number field $K$, and let $Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of of index $m$ and level $N$. Suppose $fin M_k(Gamma,mathcal{O})$ is a modular form and
begin{align}
mathrm{ord}_{mathfrak{m}}(f)>dfrac{km}{2}.
end{align}

Then $fequiv 0;(mathrm{mod},mathfrak{m})$.



I want to know if all the sophisticated techniques that Sturm uses in his proof are necessary? In other words, is there a elementary proof? I found, in the case of $mathrm{SL}_2(mathbb{Z})$, a sketch of a proof in a book (Problems In The Theory of modular forms by M. Ram Murty ) but i can't realize a complete proof.
Especifically, I'm struggling with the width of cusps, why the existence of a represent of a coset associated to a cusp with $h$ as the value of the width implies the existence of other $h-1$ representatives with the same value of width.
