Zahid Siraj Khan, 32, was known as a shy boy who loved his family the most. On Thursday, when the foot-overbridge collapsed under his feet, he pushed his father to the side, saving his life.

But, sadly, Siraj Khan, 62, had to watch his son die before his eyes. He kept begging passers-by for help for around 30 minutes, but claims they were all busy taking videos and photographs of the scene. Thieves, too, had a field day, stealing mobile phones. A helpless Siraj kept weeping until a taxi driver took them to a hospital where Zahid was declared dead. Zahid's brother Shoeb said, "People have time to take videos but couldn't spare the time to save a dying man."
