Ambala, December 27:- A 24-year-old Prince, who was struggling between life and death in a locked room in Nadi Mohalla of Ambala city for the last three years under the watchful eye of superstition, has finally been freed from the prison of this body. His skeletal body was cremated yesterday after the postmortem.
According to information, the countdown to the death of a young man named Prince started when his family considered his illness to be a foreign cancer and started cremating him instead of medical treatment. When Prince's health suddenly deteriorated, no attention was paid to him.
When his limbs became weak, the family members put him on the bed. Superstition continued to be practiced. When he became pale and dry due to lack of regular treatment and died on Thursday, this horrific incident came to the fore.
According to information, about two years ago, the family took him to the doctor, but since there was no benefit, Prince was kept in a room. If a neighbor came for help, the family would stop him from entering the house.
The family was sure that Prince would recover with the help of magic tricks. But his condition worsened day by day and Prince died on Thursday.
Bharat Singh, a founding member of the Vande Mataram group, said that someone had contacted them about this matter. When he went to Prince's house, the family flatly refused to talk to him. He saw that Prince was lying in his room in a very weak condition and there was a pile of clothes around him. Members of the Vande Mataram team said that Prince's nails were very long and worms and lice were crawling in his hair.
The team had made a plan to save him on Friday morning, but he died on Thursday night. The police did not take any action in this matter. Prince was cremated after the postmortem on Friday. Police station in-charge Kuldeep Singh said that no complaint has been received from the family.
The cause of death will be known only after the postmortem report comes. Further action will be taken after that. Meanwhile, Dr. Piyush of the Civil Hospital said that the young man had a lung problem.
People said that Prince's father works at a shop in the cloth market and his mother washes clothes at homes. Prince had started working only after eighth grade.
