A 20-year old Naga boy’s body, who died in New Delhi on Monday, has been flown into Nagaland on the morning of March 4.
Wiribou Chawang (20), who had arrived in New Delhi only a month back from his home in New Jalukie, Peren, looking for a job, became breathless at night in his sleep at his residence—his roommate called the neighbours on hearing him choke, and they took him to the Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi, where he was declared dead on arrival, said a senior police officer.
According to police, Chawang was suffering from a breathing problem. On Sunday evening, he also complained of a breathing problem. Police, however, ruled out any foul play. “Police are awaiting his postmortem report to ascertain the exact cause of his death,” an officer added, which will be available only after 14 days.
Chawang’s body has been sent to Nagaland with the help of New Delhi’s Nagaland House by the 7am Air India flight on March 4, informed Hollande Ngonamei, former president of the Zeliangrong Students’ Union Delhi who coordinated the efforts. He said that the Deputy Residential Commissioner at Nagaland House extended all help possible, including arrangement of transport and other logistics. Chawang’s company, a call centre at which he worked for the past 12-13 days, also extended his wages, informed Ngonamei.
