Krishnadas and wife Divya from Palakkad, Kerala, have no time to grieve peacefully as they are knocking on all doors to be able to fly the mortal remains of their son to Kerala at the earliest.
Vyshnav died of leukemia on Friday at Al Tawam hospital in Al Ain, a close relative told Khaleej Times.
"We have been trying all means to repatriate his body on a special flight. His parents and elder sister also want to accompany the body and cremate the body with all religious rites," said the boy's uncle, Sivadas Cheppilakattil.
"The boy was diagnosed with blood cancer 15 days ago. Until then, everything was fine and he was healthy and happy."
