Mysore/Mysuru: Members of the Muslim community in Mandi Mohalla helped perform the last rites of their Hindu neighbour this morning. The men also carried the woman’s bier to the crematorium and performed the rituals as per tradition and as directed by the priests there.
This heart-warming story was reported from Sunni Chowk of Mandi Mohalla and the deceased woman Shivamma, alias Kulli, had no relatives. She passed away at 7.30 pm yesterday and a group of youths from Islamia Naujawan Committee approached a few residents of Kailaspuram and Gandhinagar to find Shivamma’s distant relatives, if any, or if someone was willing to perform the last rites.
