Summary:

"Incapable to support his differently abled sister, an unemployed man has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking Euthanasia for her. Sudhir Mishra, a resident of Pratapnagar area in Chittorgarh city, has been knocking doors to doors to get sanctioned pension for his sister Sunita who is suffering from 90 percent physical disability. Her unfit mental condition demands someone to look after her around the clock as she is unable to do anything of her own....

Mishra who has a daughter and is not in a good financial condition himself, is unable to work because his sister needs someone at home always to look after. ” She has to be washed, bathed, changed everyday. My wife does all her personal work and she has to be moved in wheel chair. We have a teenage daughter but we cannot afford her studies because we have to look after Sunita too. In such a condition, finding no other option, I have given the mercy killing petition to the Collector because it is better my sister gets death rather than living in such a wretched condition” Sudhir said fighting his tears...."
