00:00I used to work for 18 hours a day. I used to stay awake at night. I used to walk around the ambulance station at night.
00:17At night, if someone needed a mortuary box, I used to go and give it to them.
00:30Every one of our drivers has carried 50, 100, 60, 200 such dead bodies.
00:42One of them was Arif. Arif Bhai stayed here and worked for the patients and the dead bodies.
00:52He is remarkable. We have picked up 19 such dead bodies that the family members ran away.
01:00On the 1st of January, Arif Khan had a fever. He had a congestion in his chest. He was left with 60-65% oxygen.
01:24We took him to the hospital and then home. The next day, we took him to Bada Hindurao. He died at 8 a.m.
01:54We took him to the hospital and then home. The next day, we took him to Bada Hindurao. He died at 8 a.m.
02:09We took him to the hospital and then home. The next day, we took him to Bada Hindurao. He died at 8 a.m.
02:38We buried him with our own hands. He was like a younger brother to us.
02:42Today, because of his death, there is a huge gap in the team of the Seva Dal.
02:47I believe that the work done by him as a warrior cannot be done by our country or our society.
