In a heart-wrenching tale of love and despair, a poor man faced an unimaginable tragedy when his beloved wife succumbed to an illness amid severe heat. Stricken by grief and unable to afford the last rites, he kept her body at home for three agonising days, hoping for a miracle that never came.
Driven by desperation and a deep sense of shame, he finally wrapped her body in a cloth, placed it in
a sack and left it in a nearby area.
His sorrowful act underscores the harsh reality of poverty, where even the dignity of a loved one's final farewell can be a luxury beyond reach.
It is not a script of a Bollywood flick but a real-life tragedy faced by a 55-year-old man in Chandan Nagar, of the commercial capital of the state which also boasts to be ‘Mini Mumbai’.
