It was a tragic event in Kota, Rajasthan, when an employee bid farewell to the government service; it turned into a mourning scene when suddenly the wife died, for whom the man had chosen early retirement. Devendra Sandal, manager in the Central Warehousing Corporation, had early-retired three years before his time to take care of his sick wife, Tina, who had been suffering from heart-related problems.
The very celebration of joy and jubilation was spoiled on Tuesday, when friends and colleagues came together to garland and shower rose petals on Sandal. The atmosphere was bubbly until Tina smiled, raised her head, and said she was feeling dizzy. Minutes later, she fell over the table adorned for the occasion, which triggered instant panic in the guests.
There were attempts to revive her, and calls for water rang through the room, but it was far too late. She was quickly taken to the nearest hospital, where medical professionals declared her dead on arrival. This video of the tragedy has since become popular on social media, taking the viewer from joy to sorrow.
Tragic incident captured on camera: Kota
For some time now, Tina had been unwell, which ultimately led to Devendra’s decision for early retirement to tend to her care. The couple, residing in Dadabari in Shastri Nagar, Kota, had no children and thus Devendra bore the sorrow of sustained loss alone.
Although this incident has thrown the local community into shock, it reflects the much greater unpredictability of life and the fragility of health. The story of Devendra and Tina will remind everyone of love and commitment but will leave that emotion shadowed by sudden sad loss.
