Sabarimala: Heart-Wrenching Video Of Child Seeking Help Surfaces On Internet

A heart-wrenching video of a child crying in a police van, and screaming while seeking his father is doing round the internet. According to the reports, the video is from the Sabarimala Temple which has been witnessing lakhs of devotees every day for last one week.

The child came to the temple with his family and had lost his way. Later, he was taken to a safe side by an on-duty policeman, after which he was reunited with his father, according to reports.

In the video, the child can be seen in a police van, crying and screaming while searching for his father. The child also requested a policeman with folded hands to look for his father and family. After a few minutes, when the child saw his father, started waving his hand at him and was later reunited.

Due to the overwhelming rush, many pilgrims returned from Pandalam without getting the darshan of Lord Ayyappa at the Sabarimala temple.

Reports said around 90,000 people registered for darshans today at the Sabarimala temple. The crowd had become unmanageable, and many went home after visiting the Valiya Koyikkal Sree Dharma Sastha Temple in Pandalam.

Meanwhile, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, in a review meeting with top authorities of the state, directed the officials to make proper arrangements for the devotees coming to the Sabarimala temple.

However, the opposition continues to blame the state government for the mismanagement during the Sabarimala season.
