Bengaluru: Shahulla Khan ensured dignified last rites for people in Bengaluru when the first Covid wave struck last year. The 45-year-old funeral service worker helped people out in the time of crisis. But early Thursday, after waiting for an oxygen bed for days, he couldn’t find the help that he so needed, and succumbed to Covid-19 himself.
