Ajgar worked diligently as a bangle maker, striving to make ends meet for his family. Unfortunately, due to a lack of work opportunities, their financial situation was already strained. With no other options, he decided to take a train to Mumbai in search of better opportunities, but fate had a cruel twist in store.
Raunak Sheikh, Ajgar’s sister-in-law, expressed the heartbreaking reality of their family’s situation. In their village, they did not even own a home and were dependent on the meager earnings from Jaipur.
The family was already struggling, and the loss of Ajgar has left them devastated. He leaves behind four daughters and a son, all of whom are very young. With their father gone, they now face an uncertain future, lacking the support and care they so desperately need.
Raunak’s plea to the government is for some form of compensation to assist the grieving family during this trying time. Moreover, she emphasizes the importance of holding those responsible for the tragedy accountable for their actions.
