Man Who Raised 4 Children Alone Dies in Old-Age Home; Family Skips Funeral

Ghanshyam, a single father who raised four children, passed away on August 4, 2026, at an old-age home in Bhopal. Staff at the facility contacted his family multiple times following his death to inform them and urge them to come. Despite repeated appeals, none of his four children made the journey to Bhopal. The family offered only excuses in response to each request. The incident has drawn attention to the growing issue of elderly abandonment in India.
