'At least give me his body. Don't do a postmortem. Don't cut his body into pieces. I had only one son, and now I have lost him. He came here without informing me. Now the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister may visit, but no one can bring him back," the visibly shattered father pleaded.
The son, identified as Bhumik, was among the 11 people who lost their lives in the stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium near the Vidhan Soudha. Bhumik was a BE student and an ardent fan of RCB.
'I never stayed away from him for even an hour. I have raised an only son. I have raised him for 22 years, and now, I see him die on the streets thanks to your attitude. I didn't know that he had come here. Please just hand over my son's body to him. Whatever has happened, has happened," Bhumik's father further said, while speaking to local media.
