A 70-year old woman’s body was allegedly left abandoned by her son on a footpath in the Banjara Hills area here, police said on Sunday. The woman had died after having fever for the last four and her son claimed that he left the body wrapped in a blanket as he did not have money to perform her last rites, police said.
Some local residents alerted the police after noticing the body wrapped in a blanket and a police team which reached the spot, recovered it, they said. During investigation it was revealed that the woman used to beg in the area and later it also came to light that she lived with her son, a watchman in an apartment complex, police said.
