    Why we are creating our own stories and judging either side? Let police do their job. However if Mrs. Vivian knows who is faizar then she must be having more details about him. And during this lockdown he can't travel much or flee out of the country. Quick action by police can reveal everything.

    You people have no opinion or authority to talk about this in any way. The daughters were abroad. The wife was in a separate ward also positive . There is all the proof and evidence and they found that this boy was indeed guilty .This story is posted here not for your unnecessary comments but to understand that caretakers can take advantage and that we all need to be careful. Don’t you dare judge a family when you don’t even know the whole story. Shame on you!!

    Such a disgusting comment! The family is already going through a painful time, and a caretaker taking advantage of this situation is horrible! Please don't judge a family you know nothing about. If you dont have anything positive to say, please refrain yourself from spreading hatred 🙏🏼

    I feel its wrong to be judgement without knowing the real situation. The daughter was providing Financial support by working abroad... the mother being Covid Positive herself and was hospitalized and so couldn't be of help to her husband... therefore it is inevitable for a caretaker had to be hired.. for round the clock assistance. I don’t see anything wrong on the family’s part. As it is Covid is difficult to deal with. I personally know of many people who have succumbed to Covid, so its not an easy time for anyone. The least you can do is empathize with the family in their moment of grief and refrain from such insensitive remarks.

    I have my doubt here. My office assistant know my ATM pin and let me put Fizar in the same shoe. Fizar might have withdrawn the cash to pay to hospital with the knowledge and instruction of the deceased patient. When the patient died his family might have made Fizar a scape goat. Let’s think like this before making anyone a culprit - because Fizar had actually took care of the patient when he needed as per this news article. .

    If the withdrawal was to pay the bill, won't the family know about it ?? I'm sure he robbed the dead man intentionally. Well, now that we know who did it, it's time to enjoy the music for Fraisar.

    I can understand your situation is different. It is not our job to investigate,please leave it to the experts. There is hardcore evidence and he has admitted to the crime and for stealing the amount for his personal gain.Again,please don’t spread hatred and unnecessary comments !!

    One primary job we must do upon death of a person is, inform the bank/s in whichever he/she held accounts. The accounts get shut for any operation till the death is registered, certificate obtained and next kin appointed for carrying out any legal formalities. Even if a family member withdraws money from the diseased's account before such procedure, it becomes liable for penalties. Similar punishment applies to the man in this news too, besides punishment for fraud.
