NEW DELHI, India—A Delhi based Sikh man Jitender Singh Shunty, who has been performing the sewa of cremating dead bodies of Covid-19 victims, has contracted coronavirus. He, his wife, and son have been found coronavirus positive today.
Sharing the information over social media, Jitendra Singh Shunty has said that his organization ‘Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal’ will continue the volunteer service of cremating the dead bodies of Covid-19 victims. “Although we have been quarantined but our team members are committed to carrying out this service even if I succumb,” he said.
