In a tragic incident in Pattigaon village, Aheri tehsil, a couple was forced to carry the bodies of their two young sons on their shoulders after they died from high fever on Wednesday. Bajirao Veladi (6) and Dinesh Veladi (3) fell ill on September 4 and were treated with herbal remedies by a local priest, but their condition worsened, and both passed away soon after.
With no proper road or ambulance available, the parents had to carry their sons’ bodies to Jimalgatta Health Centre, where medical officers confirmed their deaths. Though an ambulance was eventually called from a nearby location, the parents declined the help.
District Health Officer Dr. Pratap Shinde confirmed the deaths and stated that an investigation is underway to determine the cause.
