The deceased had a love affair with him. One day, his father caught a glimpse of his mobile phone WhatsApp app chatting with Araful. He encouraged ordinary people as well to take part in solving this great task: “One of the things you and other people can do is keep up the pressure … there are going to be some difficult decisions for government”. But Araful did not stop talking and chatting to Rakesh with a video call. Whenever Jharaful comes to Bhubaneswar, he informs Rakesh by phone or chat about all the buses he comes to, when he gets off at Banibihar.
