WATCH: Heart Wrenching! Andhra man carries son’s body on bike for 90 km

In a heart wrenching incident, a man from from Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh was forced to carry his 10-year-old son’s dead body on a two-wheeler for about 90 km, after the ambulance driver at Sri Venkateswara Ramnarayan Ruia Government General (RUIA) hospital allegedly demanded a huge amount from him.

Report says, the ambulance drivers at the hospital allegedly demanded Rs 20,000 from the man to ferry his son home.

Since the family was poor and couldn’t afford the hefty charges, they were left with no option but to shift the corpse to their village on a two-wheeler.

Former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu tweeted a video of the incident and wrote, “My heart aches for innocent little Jesava, who died at Tirupati’s RUIA hospital.His father pleaded with authorities to arrange an ambulance which never came. With mortuary vans lying in utter neglect,pvt ambulance providers asked a fortune to take the child home for final rites.”
