The toddler’s mother, 35-year-old Avreena Khatoon, died on board the Ahmedabad-Katihar Shramik Special train last week due to hunger and severe heat during coronavirus-induced lockdown.
The body lay on the platform till an ambulance picked it up.
In the viral video, the child is seen pulling a sheet of cloth covering his mother’s body, unaware that his mother was no more.
