New Delhi: On April 22, K. Raju, a 22-year-old migrant fish worker from Srikakulam district in Andhra Pradesh, reportedly died of panic attack on-board one of the fishing boats in Veraval, Gujarat. According to reports, after hearing of a COVID-19 case near the Veraval seaport, Raju became anxious and died of cardiac arrest around 2 a.m. The deceased worker had been eagerly waiting to return to D Matsalesam village in Srikakulam to see his newborn daughter for the first time but couldn’t because of the lockdown. As the country is going through a complete lockdown, his body couldn’t be taken to his native place for the last rites. Some fishermen cremated him and sent a video to his relatives.
