Tirupati: When 26-year-old K. Damodar Reddy lost his battle to COVID-19 at SVIMS Hospital in this temple town, his blood relatives did not come forward to perform his funeral, but a group of Muslims ensured his last rites as per Hindu traditions.
When a church pastor Vetti Dasu died of COVID-19 at Ruia Hospital, nobody from his relatives came to receive the body and again the Muslim group rushed to the hospital, received the body and arranged for his last rites as per Christian customs.
