Mangaluru, Jan 3: Chethan (21), working as a conductor of a private bus, who lost both his legs trying to save a doeling from coming under a train, succumbed to injuries on Sunday January 2.
Two months ago, Chethan saw a doeling playing on a railway track. As he heard the sound of an oncoming train, he rushed to the tracks and tried to lift the doeling from the track.
However, it was too late and the train hit Chethan and ran over his legs.
Chethan, who was grievously injured, was admitted to a hospital in Mangaluru. His friends had collected money for his treatment by asking for alms on streets of the city. Many philanthropists also helped in his treatment. Chethan, who recovered slightly was brought home.
However, he was readmitted to the hospital as he was mentally upset and refused to take food. Chethan passed away on Sunday.
