Amid the increasing havoc of the coronavirus pandemic in India accompanied by a shortage of oxygen cylinders, a teenager lost his mother to COVID-19 just hours after cops allegedly seized an oxygen cylinder that he had privately arranged.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, a youth dressed in PPE is seen on his feet with his hands folded and pleading with the police not to take away the cylinder from him as it will cost his mother s life. I am at your feet, requesting you. Please save my mother, the boy says amid sobs until he is dragged away by people around him who could be from his family. Meanwhile, policemen watch as the cylinder is carried away by two men.
