A seven-year-old boy with blood cancer, from Delhi, was dipped in the Ganga river for a 'miracle cure' but unfortunately died. The incident took place in Haridwar, where the boy's parents and aunt performed the ritual. The family had sought divine intervention after doctors at AIIMS-Delhi said there was no hope of the boy surviving. The police are investigating the cause of death.
Hard to tell because it just says “he didn’t survive the ritual” which to me implies it was at the river. A disease will take time.
