On Monday morning, after finishing a run, he was sitting near the railway track outside the village when someone called out his name. As he turned, four masked youths got out of a car and began assaulting him without saying a word. After the assault, the attackers allegedly forced a bottle of poison into Mukul's mouth, causing him to lose consciousness on the spot. A villager named Sohanlal, who happened to be passing by, saw Mukul lying unconscious and alerted his family. He was rushed to Yashoda Hospital in Ghaziabad, where he remains in critical condition. The victim's father, Anil, has filed an FIR against unidentified assailants.

Watch: Man dances during friend's funeral to fulfill his dying wish, internet is in tears
Credit: Instagram He wasn't quite done with saying goodbye yet, but life had other ideas for their bond. In Jawasia, a remote village nestled in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur district, something rare and touching happened. This isn't your typical celebration; this touching moment left everyone speechless. Ambalal Prajapat, tears in his eyes and music in the background, danced his heart out, at the funeral of his love and one of his best friends, Sohanlal Jain. This was not a spur-of-the-moment act to go viral, it was a promise made years ago, out of love, loyalty and respect. In January 2021, when Sohanlal was fighting cancer, he wrote a handwritten letter to Ambalal. It contained a simple yet strong appeal. "No weeping, no silence, only joy," the letter read. "When I am gone from this world, you need to dance and sing as I leave this world." Ambalal never forgot that letter. He had it in safe-keeping, and when the time arrived, he ensured that every line was fulfilled. As Sohanlal's body was brought through the village, Ambalal came forward.

'We are heartbroken,' one relative said. 'But the way Ambalal honoured him made us emotional all over again.' The letter ended with a quiet, heartfelt line: 'If I've ever made a mistake knowingly or unknowingly, please forgive me.'It was a musical farewell, with memories and the type of friendship that remains even when one is no longer there.
