Children skip funeral after abandoning paralyzed father
Prameya News··11 Aug
Seventy-year-old Ghanshyam died on August 4 at Apna Ghar old-age home in Bhopal after four years with paralysis. Two sons and two daughters did not claim his body or attend last rites. Relatives had sold his Indore house, divided the money, and left him at a bus terminal before social workers found him and brought him in.
