Couples Requested Mercy-Killing For Their 11 Year Old Son
Apart from approaching higher officials, the distraught parents have even approached the State Welfare Minister Joba Manjhi by contending that they just can't afford treating their son for his disease of sickle cell anaemia.
Gulshan's father Kalidas Munda lost his job six months ago, which made life tougher for the family to afford the treatment.
The boy needs blood transfusion since his birth and his monthly medicare bills touch a whopping figure of over rupees 5000, the average earnings of a skilled worker in Jharkhand.
Parvati, mother of Gulshan has been knocking at the doors of higher officials to give a green signal for the ultimate to her son.
Further she noted that it has become impossible for her husband, a daily wage earner to mobilise such an amount whereas the parents wish to free their son from pain and suffering.
"I want euthanasia for my child, as my husband does not have a job. We're poor and can't afford his treatment. The child is also suffering in pain," said Parvati.
However, the Sub Divisional Officer (SDO) of Chakradharpur believes that it is not legal to grant death or perform such kind of acts on a boy.
The SDO has offered some kind of assistance to the family on a note of optimism that their son can be saved.
