Hello @mvmeet, You should be ashamed of yourself for this false anti-muslim propaganda even during a pandemic. Here is what Lokesh, the son of the deceased had to say about the photo you'd shared on Facebook.

Here is his false Anti Muslim propaganda post Shared on his Kannada page. Here he alleges that 'Muslim agencies' are charging Rs 35,000 for the last rites of COVID deceased in Bangalore.

He used two photos to support his False Claim. First image was shared by PTI Journalist @mvashistpti
“After the sudden death of a Hindu friend’s family member, two Muslim brothers helped in the last rites. The family consisted of only a woman and her child..."s

Second image was from Nelamangala, Bengaluru. But Here is a video of PFI volenteers helping in the rites.. Son of the deceased can be heard Thanking the volenteers for their service.

Lokesh was referred to PFI by his cousin Muniraju who says “PFI men came at 6 am and brought their own PPE suits, ambulance, and performed the rituals as per our custom. Our immediate family was scared to touch the body, but the PFI men did the rituals following Hindus customs,”

Alt News also reached out to volunteer Farhan Pasha.
