According to reports, Derek C Lachhanhima came home crying and begged his parents to take it to the hospital. His father asked him to go himself and he did it with all the money he had.

The nurse at the hospital fell for the boy’s innocence and clicked a picture of him holding just a ten rupee note in his right hand and the chick in the other.

Derek came back home sobbing and vowing to save the chick. His parents told him that the chick is dead and there is nothing that can be done now, reports stated.
