Nabarangpur: A man was forced to carry the body of his dead father on a bike for 22 kilometres as the hearse he had requested for failed to turn up. Though the incident happened Sunday, people came to know about the incident when the post-mortem of the deceased was performed at the Umerkote Community Health Centre (UCHH).
Sources said, Lucky Santa had taken his ailing father Bali Santa to a relative’s house at Banshibindha village under Jharigaon block to get him treated by a traditional healer. However, his condition deteriorated and Bali breathed his last while his son was waiting for an ambulance.
Lucky tried to get the services of a hearse but failed to do so. So he tied his father’s body to a wooden plank and with the help of a relative drove towards Kudumdhara village under Raighar block in this district.
Midway, at Gopabandhu Square, some locals noticed Lucky’s plight. They then advised lucky to take his deceased father’s body to Umerkote CHC.
