According to a Sandesh (Desh) report, a shocking incident has come to light in the Panki police station area of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, where a mentally unstable son remained seated near his father's dead body for five days without any awareness.
Dr. Prem Prakash Srivastava lived with his son Vijay Srivastava in flat number A-304 of Aman Enclave in Ratanpur. He has three married daughters named Archana, Bhavna, and Priti.
This entire matter came to light when the doctor's daughter and her son reached the flat to visit. According to the doctor's grandson Anmol, he had recently purchased a new car and had gone to his maternal grandfather's place with his mother to share this joyous news and distribute sweets. As soon as they approached the flat, a strong foul odor was emanating from there.
Upon entering the house, the doctor's dead body was seen lying on the bed and his son Vijay was sitting right next to it, seeing which the family's senses were blown. It is being suspected that the doctor died about five days ago, and during this time his son was present inside the house itself.
According to local residents, a foul odor had been coming from the flat for the last two days, but the doctor's son, who rarely met anyone, did not make any inquiries about this. As soon as the news of the doctor's death spread, a crowd of people gathered in the apartment and everyone was astonished as to how the son could remain unaware of his father's death for five days.
