The video has presented the most poignant picture of the massive migrant tragedy unfolding across several states. \n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nA video tweeted by Sanjay Yadav, an aide to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, shows the child walking unsteadily up to his mother\u2019s body, tugging at the blanket placed over her, and when failing to wake her up, covering his own head with it. \n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nAs the mother lay still, he wobbles away from her, announcements continuing in the background about the arrival and departure of trains that would bring in tens of thousands of people in a rush to get away from hunger and hardship they face in large cities that could sustain them no more. \n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cThis small child doesn\u2019t know that the bedsheet with which he is playing is the shroud of his mother who has gone into eternal sleep. This mother died of hunger and thirst after being on a train for four days. Who is responsible for these deaths on trains? Shouldn\u2019t the opposition ask uncomfortable questions?\u201d Yadav wrote while tweeting the video. However, the police had a different story to tell. \n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nAs reported by PTI, Ramakant Upadhyay, the Dy SP of the Government Railway Police in Muzaffarpur, said the incident occurred on May 25 when the migrant woman was on way to Muzaffarpur from Ahmedabad by a Shramik Special train. He told reporters the woman, who was accompanied by her sister and brother-in-law, had died on the Madhubani bound train. \n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cMy sister-in-law died suddenly on the train. We did not face any problem getting food or water,\u201d the officer said, quoting the deceased\u2019s brother-in-law who he did not name. He said on getting information, police brought down the body and sent it for postmortem. \n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nCiting the brother-in-law of the deceased, Upadhyay said she was aged 35 years and was undergoing treatment for \u201csome disease\u201d for the last one year in Ahmedabad. \u201cShe was also mentally unstable,\u201d he said.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"642\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kz452CQSlU0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video of toddler\u2019s vain attempt to wake up his dead mother from eternal sleep on a railway platform in Bihar\u2019s Muzaffarpur on Wednesday has gone viral on social media.
