Click to play videoNew Delhi: Five-year-old Simran is trying to understand the ugly twist her life has suddenly taken. Simran lost her father, who was the only earning member of the family, aunt and grandfather in the blast at Delhi's Ghaffar Market.
Her mother suffered severe injuries and is now battling for life at the RML hospital. An old grandmother, a handicapped aunt and an uncle is all the family she has left with.
Simran’s grandmother wailed, “My entire family has been wiped out.”
To make matters worse, the family said they have been asked to pay money to get possession of the dead bodies. “I paid Rs 500 per dead body,” Simran’s grandmother said.
However, the administration claimed that it is unaware of such things. Councillor Krishna Tirath said, “I have no idea who is taking money.”
The story of fourteen-year-old Sunil is no different. He hasn't shed a single tear ever since he heard of his father's death. All he wants to do now is to conduct the last rites, but the body is still missing.
The shadow of death and destruction looms large over this bylane in Karol Bagh as women and children wail in desperation for their loved ones.
It's been just over two days since terror struck the Capital and the families of the victims have already been left to themselves to grapple with the tragedy.
