It was shocking when Sujan Majhi said that he was not let inside the house after he had stepped out to work after the lockdown restrictions ended. Initially, Sujan Majhi said with his friends, thinking that this would end soon, but later he took a separate apartment and lived alone.

Mr Majhi had been paying the rent and clearing bills to Munmun Majhi. He buys groceries and leaves them outside the main door. Mr Majhi had communication with his wife and son only via video calls. His son was seven years old during the pandemic and is now 10.

When the Police officers spoke to Munmun Majhi, She kept saying, 'I will not let my son step out because he will die immediately'. Later the police convinced her and brought her to the Police station. 

Later the ten-year-old boy was rescued from the flat and was admitted to the hospital. Mr Majhi, overjoyed to have his family back, thanked the police for their help

The police and child welfare teams were taken aback when they entered the flat. Garbage had not been thrown out for three years, and the apartment was shambling. A thick layer of dirt had settled on all appliances, and piles of clothes, hair and empty grocery packets were on the floor.
