The last rites of a 35-year-old woman, who was found dead at the Bhagalpur railway station in Bihar four days ago, were performed on Thursday after authorities failed to find her family, officials said.
The woman was found dead on platform number 1 of the station with her three-year-old differently abled son sleeping on her lap, unaware of her demise. The boy has been handed over to the child welfare committee (CWC) and he is now staying in a childcare home, a senior official from the Bhagalpur railway police said.
The Government Railway Police (GRP) at the Bhagalpur station found the unidentified woman and the boy on the morning of July 31. She was taken to a nearby government hospital, where doctors declared her dead.
