About The Cleaner Who Lost His Life
Anil was a 37-year-old sewer cleaner who was based in Delhi. He fell to his death in a 6-metre-deep sewer and died of asphyxiation when the rope used to lower him ended up getting snapped, and he lost his life while cleaning a Delhi Jal Board (DJB) sewer.
The Man Had Lost A Child Just A Week Back!
According to reports, Anil who was a father of three had just lost his four-month-old child due to pneumonia a week ago before his death.
He Hails From A Poor Family
The family did not have anybody to mourn the death with. The saddest fact was that the family members did not even have the money to pay for the last rites of the deceased.
The boy walked up to his father's body at a crematorium, moved the sheet from the face, held the cheeks with both hands, just said 'papa' & began sobbing.
