The novel coronavirus has created unprecedented challenges in everyone's life, but it has also given a chance for people to stand up and help others.

When a Hindu man passed away due to cancer in Rajasthan's Jaipur, his Muslim neighbours stepped and cremated him with full Hindu rituals.

The man, Rajendra, had been living in Bajrang Nagar Bhatta Basti area of Jaipur. He had been afflicted with cancer for which he was getting treated at a government hospital in Jaipur. Rajendra passed away on Monday.

But the cremation became a challenge as he had no male members in his immediate family and none of his relatives could travel to Jaipur for last rites due to lockdown. The neighbourhood also has no Hindus.

However, Muslims living in the locality came forward to carry out the last rites and rituals. They prepared his body as per norms and carried it to the cremation grounds and performed the rituals.
