Parents seek CM’s help to get son’s body from Romania

Sangrur, May 14

Three months back, government employee Gurdarshan Singh took a loan of Rs 7 lakh to send his son Amrit Singh (22) to Romania for studies, but now he is again making rounds of banks and private moneylenders to arrange the same amount to bring back his body. He was murdered on May 6.
The body has been lying at Spitalul Clinic De Urgenta in Bucharest city. The authorities are waiting for money so that they can send the body back. The family met PWD and IT Minister Vijay Inder Singla at his residence on Saturday and handed over an application for financial help from the CM’s Relief Fund to bring back the body.
Singla said he would take up the matter with the CM.
“On May 6, my elder son Manjeet got a message on Facebook from an unknown person that his brother Amrit was in trouble and in the evening, we got a call from the hospital that he died after being thrown from the fourth floor of a building. I have yet to pay the loan I took in January and I am trying to arrange money from private moneylenders at a higher rate of interest now to bring back the body. We request the CM to help us,” said Gurdarshan Singh.
Amrit went to Romania on January 23 and got admission in a marketing course at the Universitatea Spiru Haret in Bucharest city. He was also working at a local car washing station. “The police have confirmed that my son’s death is a murder. On May 6, some persons took him to the fourth floor of a building, stabbed him and threw him from the floor,” he said.
