The incident of a man carrying the body of his daughter in Naidupeta mandal in Tirupati district created a flutter on Friday, amidst allegations that the ambulance staff at the local government hospital had refused to transport the body to their native village nearby.
According to information, on Thursday evening, two siblings – Akshaya(2) and Sravanth(5) – of Kothapalli village of Doravarisatram mandal had fallen into a gravel pond while playing nearby. The locals rescued the duo, and they were rushed to the government hospital at Naidupeta, 15 km away from the mishap spot. While Akshaya was declared brought dead, the other child was later declared safe.
Later, the father had sought the assistance of the staff of a 108 ambulance vehicle to shift the body of the girl to Kothapalle village on Friday morning.
