Bhubaneswar, June 11 -- In a heart-wrenching incident, two siblings were detained by the police when they were trying to abandon their ailing mother at a secluded place in Odisha's Ganjam district on Friday.

The differently-abled brother duo, who reportedly went unemployed due to the Covid-19 induced lockdown in the State, left their mother at a bypass road beside Loharakhandi river near Bhanjanagar town after they failed to find a shelter.

Police rescued the hapless mother who is suffering from old-age-related ailments from the spot and sent her to the sub-divisional hospital here for treatment.
