A highly touching video from Kerala surfaced on social media on Wednesday amid lockdown conditions in the country. Seeing his 65-year-old father sick, a son appeared on the road to take him to the hospital. It is being told that the police stopped an auto from moving a kilometer before this man's house. He came to take the auto patient to the hospital, but when the police stopped him, his son rushed on the road to take the sick father to the hospital on time.

 

The whole incident took place in Pannallur city in Kerala. It is being told that his son called an auto to the house to take the ailing father to the hospital. However, the police stopped the auto at a check post about a kilometer away from the house. When no other path was found between the lockdown, the man's son ran from the house to the auto, picking him up on his lap. After this, he somehow drove the father to the auto, so that both could reach the hospital.

 

Human Rights Commission took cognizance

In this case, the Kerala State Human Rights Commission has taken automatic cognizance and questioned the police. The Commission has also registered a case in this matter. While issuing notice to the police, the commission has asked that in which situation the vehicle which had come to take the patient was stopped.

 

Police surrounded by social media

However, seeing this incident in Kerala, everyone questioned why the police did not allow the movement of vehicles even when the sick was taken to the hospital. On social media too, many people took the police action in the dock. On the other hand, many people also wrote that the poor person could not pay the ambulance money, so he was forced to take the sick father to the hospital by a public vehicle.
