Mysore/Mysuru: If the heart-rending incident in Bhubaneswar where two sons carried the body of their father who died due of COVID-19 for cremation on a scooter as no one offered help stirred several emotions in us, this particular incident is sure to make us wonder how the COVID virus has destroyed humanity and human relationships.
The story comes from Hebbal near Surya Bakery where a son refused to even see his father’s dead body — forget performing last rites — but was ready to accept cash and ATM card left behind by his late father. The son, coming from a well-to-do family, repeatedly pleaded with Corporator K.V. Sridhar to return the cash but refused to see his father’s face and asked Sridhar to cremate it himself as an unclaimed body.
