The emergency section of the hospital refused to admit 12-year-old Ansh and asked his father, Sunil Kumar, to take him to a children's hospital.

Further, Kumar was not even provided a stretcher to carry his son to the children's hospital, which is 250 meters away from LLR.

What Happened

According to reports, Kumar had to wait for at least half an hour before the staff at LLR hospital denied admitting his son. After half an hour, they asked Kumar to take his son to a children's hospital.

Kumar then rushed to the children's hospital, carrying Ansh on his shoulders. But sadly, he was too late.

The doctors at the children's hospital declared Ansh dead on arrival.

Even then, no body came for help. The poor father had to again carry his now dead son on his shoulders all the way back.

Ansh was down with high fever since Sunday and was first taken to a neighbourhood doctor in Faizalgunj. The doctors there asked Kumar to take his son to a hospital with better facilities. It was then that Kumar went to the LLR hospital in Kanpur.

Series of Such Shocking Tragedies

This incident comes merely days after a video showing a tribal man in Odisha, carrying his dead wife on his shoulders, went viral. It was reported that the authorities did not help him and he was compelled to walk 10 km carrying his dead wife.

In another incident, a woman's body had to be broken at the hip so that men could carry it on a bamboo pole.

it is Every bodies fault... Y cant every individual be active in helping others ... We know our govt is developing only in cheddi controlled media... Lets work together and inform all our friends to help people who are poor and in situation of needy...

May Almighty forgive us for living the poor on their own... Those who are capable of helping . please help without depending on the Govt's system cos we feel most of the authorities are just filling their stomachs when they should have been taking care of their people.

May 11: Two youths allegedly gang-raped a teen and then hacked to death her 11-year old brother, who had seen their act, in a bid to hide their crime, at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Etah district, about 300 kilometres from here.

Police sources said that two youths, resident of the same village, barged into the house of the teen, when she was alone, and allegedly gang-raped her.

The victim's minor brother suddenly came into the house and protested after he witnessed his sister being sexually assaulted, sources said. The youths allegedly strangled the minor with a towel.

The alleged culprits, who hailed from influential families, 'forced' the victim's parents to bury their son and warned them against approaching the cops.

The parents, however, gathered courage and met senior police officials in Etah on Sunday after a case was registered in this regard. Police said that the body of the minor would be exhumed and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
