New Delhi: In a shocking video from Uttarakhand’s Haridwar, a five-year-old boy, suffering from blood cancer, died after he was submerged in river Ganga again and again by his parents in the hope of a miracle cure. The incident occurred on Har Ki Pauri after he was submerged in the freezing river multiple times.
The incident was caught on camera in which a Delhi-based couple could be allegedly seen drowning their child suffering from cancer in River Ganga. The video shows bystanders asking the family to stop after they notice the boy underwater for too long. On seeing that the family isn’t listening, people present at the spot forcefully bring the boy out.
