In a distressing incident, an 80-year-old man with paralysis was left tied up and locked inside a car in blistering 30°C heat while his family visited the iconic Taj Mahal. The elderly man, unable to move or seek help, endured the scorching conditions until concerned passersby intervened.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the man visibly distressed and sweating profusely inside the vehicle, which had been parked under direct sunlight. Authorities were alerted, and emergency services swiftly arrived to free him. The man was reportedly dehydrated and disoriented but is now receiving medical attention.
Family Under Scrutiny
The family, who had travelled to the Taj Mahal for sightseeing, is now facing severe backlash for their alleged negligence. Locals and officials have condemned their actions, calling it a case of elder abuse. Investigations are underway to determine whether legal action will be taken.
Dangers of Leaving Vulnerable Individuals in Cars
