Mumbai Elderly Man Left on Streets by Sons: NGO Gives Him a New Lease on Life
In a real-life incident in Mumbai, an elderly father who devoted his life to raising his children now finds himself abandoned and neglected in his old age. Recently, he was seen near Dharavi, lying helpless and lacking basic necessities. As his situation became known, public opinion shifted against his children, who were viewed as uncaring and neglectful.
Fortunately, an NGO discovered the elderly man and took him under their care. They provided him with a bath, fresh clothes, and accommodation. The elderly man revealed that he had been left on the street by his two sons. He stated that one son has been living in London for the past four years, while the other is a practicing lawyer. He claims that both have refused to take care of him, forcing him to live on the streets.
Public anger surged as people saw the elderly man’s unfortunate situation, abandoned in his later years. This father, who had invested all his earnings in his sons, found himself in a state of poverty.
A video of his condition went viral on Instagram, racking up over 400K likes. Many users expressed their shock at how his own children neglected him, while others commended the NGO that stepped in to help him regain his dignity. There was an outpouring of gratitude for the organization that assisted him, while his sons faced harsh criticism, being labeled as a disgrace to society.
One Instagram user remarked, “Firbhi sari duniya ko bete hi chaiye aise beto se ach h ki na ho.” (Everyone wants sons, but it’s better to be childless than to have ungrateful children.) Another added, “God bless you.”
The third user commented, “ Insan ke roop mein bhagwan hai aap” ( You are like a God in the human form). Numerous comments suggested that those who treat their fathers poorly will likely experience similar treatment from their own children in the future.
In the end, there are hundreds of Bagban fathers and mothers that are left, each with their own stories and struggles, reminding us that many continue to fight for their families’ well-being.
