Every two months, his family had to make the exhausting trip to PGIMER, with each visit costing around Rs 45,000—an unimaginable figure for a household dependent on farming.

But even in pain, Abhijot remained gentle and hopeful. His parents, Jasbir Singh and his wife, clung to optimism, doing everything they could to keep him alive. As per NDTV, soctors had told them that with consistent treatment, Abhijot could beat the odds and live a normal life by the time he turned 18. That hope was enough to keep them going.
