As she sat outside the mortuary of GTB hospital fearing that her son might be among those who died in the northeast Delhi violence, her tears would not stop.

"I have gone to all hospitals, including LNJP, AIIMS, Safdarjung and now, I am here at GTB... searching for him as he is missing since Tuesday. I am afraid that he might have been killed in the riots," she told , crying incessantly.
