Man, 82, Found Sitting Next To Son's Body For 4 Days In Mohali

The incident came to light after neighbours called the police complaining about the stench from the house where Balwant Singh lived with his adopted son, Sukhwinder Singh.

An 82-year-old man who had been living with his son's body at their Mohali home for least four days was rescued by the city police on Monday.

The incident came to light after neighbours called the police complaining about the stench from the house where Balwant Singh lived with his adopted son, Sukhwinder Singh.

"There was an old man next to the body. He did not say anything. He was not able to speak much. It seemed he didn't know anything much," said Paul Chand, a police officer.

The police had to force their way into the house. Upon entering, they found the old man sitting next to his son's body. The old man was in a semi-conscious state and severely sick.
