My sincere condolences to wife, son, father, mother, brother, sisters, other family and friends of Avanish Kumar Dev. In my grief, I wonder if there is any humanity, civility left in the perpetrators of this heinous violence against a fellow human, worker albeit management? How does one reconcile that a wife, a son will never again will greet their beloved husband, papa in the evening?
