‘O God, why': Orphaned in U'khand crash, wailing boy's video moves internet, leaves many tearful
Dehradun: A heartbreaking video of 10-year-old Parth Soni sobbing by the roadside and pleading with Lord Badrinath after losing both his parents in a tragic bus accident has left many in tears. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Oh Badri-Vishal, what have you done? What did we do wrong? We were your devotees!" he cries in the clip, hands folded, eyes fixed on the Alaknanda river below. Parth, the only son of Vishal Soni, 42, and Gauri Soni, 41, from Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh, is the sole survivor from his immediate family in the accident on Thursday near Gholtir in Rudraprayag district, which claimed four lives while eight others are still missing. District disaster management officer NK Rajwar said chances of their survival are slim due to the river's strong currents. The fourth body, identified as 55-year-old Sanjay Soni from Udaipur, Rajasthan, was recovered on Friday by State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel. Rudraprayag's district emergency operation centre (DEOC) said the body will be handed over to the family after legal formalities are completed. Steep terrain and powerful currents have hindered rescue efforts, with SDRF divers relying on rafts as diving remains too dangerous. The 31-seater bus was carrying 19 pilgrims from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra, all members of an extended family, when it collided with a speeding truck near a sharp bend on the Badrinath route, officials said. Parth had been seated next to his mother when the accident occurred. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Surrounded by strangers and far from home, he is still struggling to grasp the magnitude of what happened. "He has been in a state of shock since the incident," said Nilesh Soni, Parth's uncle and Vishal's brother. Parth had travelled with his parents to Uttarakhand for the Char Dham yatra, while his sisters, Tejaswini, 17, and Manaswini, 15, and 80-year-old grandmother Bhagirathi stayed back in Rajgarh. Relatives have gathered at the Soni household, where grief hangs heavy and conversations are hushed. Kamlesh Soni, Vishal's brother, along with two relatives and a sub-inspector from Rajgarh police station, travelled to Uttarakhand to bring back the bodies. They were handed over to the family on Friday afternoon, and are expected to reach Rajgarh by Saturday afternoon, after which the final rites will be performed.
