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.
