Muslim siblings perform last rites of Hindu woman in Wayanad
Razak and Sulaiman carried out Hindu funeral rituals for their 85-year-old neighbour, Kalyani Amma, who had no children or close relatives.
Two Muslim brothers, Razak and Sulaiman, performed the last rites of an 85-year-old Hindu woman in the Chithragiri area of Wayanad, according to reports by Siasat, Mathrubhumi and Rediff.
The deceased, Kalyani Amma, had no children or other relatives and had lived alone for nearly 50 years in the Muppainad panchayat.
The siblings, who were residents of Club Junction in Chithragiri, had been neighbours with the woman for nearly five decades and cared for her as a mother.
Razak and Sulaiman fulfilled her wish to have them perform her funeral rituals, which they completed at a crematorium in Andoor following instructions from a priest from Ivarmadom.
The family had assisted the woman with her daily needs, including arranging medicines, accompanying her to hospitals, and providing care when she became bedridden.
Razak's wife, Ruqiya, also assisted in looking after the woman when she could no longer manage without help.
