“It was such a time that we couldn’t understand what to do. Didn’t know whom to contact. For the funeral, only 20 people were allowed. Even when he went to the hospital, we didn’t feel like he will not come back. I thought it’s a routine check-up. He was very lively, don’t know how this happened. I still cannot believe it so it was very difficult to believe it back then. We were not able to look at him when he was taken in the van. It felt like a part of me left with him. It’s difficult,” said Umesh as he broke down.
