A 12-year-old girl killed herself so she could become an organ donor to her father and brother.
But Mumpy Sarkar from Jhorpara village, West Bengal died in vain, because it was not until the day after her traditional cremation that her father found a note on her bed.
Addressed to her mother, the girl requested that her eyes and kidneys be used for the treatment of her father and brother.
The girl heard her parents discussed how only eye surgery could restore her father's vision and a kidney transplant save her brother's life. Her brother Monojit was suffering with a damaged kidney and the other was becoming weaker while Mridul, a poorly paid day labourer, was gradually losing his eyesight.
Mumpy consumed Thiodan, a pesticide.
