Asian Games gold-medallist Tajinderpal Singh Toor's father, who died of cancer before he could meet the triumphant shot-putter, will be cremated tomorrow.

Karam Singh, 54, breathed his last on Monday at a military hospital in Panchkula.  He was suffering from cancer for the past few years and Toor had spoken about his struggle to manage his career in view of his father's ailment after winning the Asiad gold in Jakarta. It was a tragic turn of events for Toor, who returned to India the same day his father passed away.
