In a heart-breaking incident, a man had to walk almost 88 km alone carrying his five-year-old son’s body to bury him amid the nationwide Coronavirus lockdown. The father, Manchala Manohar, had carried his son’s corpse and walked from his hometown in Andhra Pradesh’s Gorantla village in Anantapur district to perform his last rites to Chitravati river, The Times of India reported.

The deceased, Deva, was Manohar’s youngest of his three children. Nearly 10 days ago, he was suffering from a throat infection after which he fell ill and had to be admitted in a hospital in Gorantla. When Deva’s condition deteriorated, he was shifted to a government hospital in Hindupur.
