The children’s mother, Poonam, was not so fortunate. She was taken to hospital with the other injured. Shot in the head, she died on Monday — five days after she and her family went to the CST to board the Geetanjali Express to Kolkata. Bharat has not been told she is dead. “Doctors have told us not to break this to him yet. His condition is still critical. He will not be able to take the shock,” says elder brother Ravi. But it is little Viraj who is Ravi’s big worry. “He refuses to drink milk or sleep. He wants his Mummy.”
