The couple’s family in Thiruvananthapuram were informed of the incident and they came to Delhi last week. Their son will now live with Suresh’s sister in Kerala.

Vijay Kumar, Suresh’s cousin who also lives in Delhi, said, “… Suresh always helped me. His parents died a couple of years ago and we didn’t have any other relatives here. His wife was a hard-working woman. It’s sad that their child is alone. Suresh would usually drop Shiney to her office on their bike.”
