Ashu Malik-The man who finds death bodies!
In a far off north Indian town, Ashu Malik's name and telephone number are written in red letters on a little shed along a peaceful waterway.
For 25 years, it has been his responsibility to recuperate bodies that have fallen into the waterway.
At the point when somebody in a close by locale disappears, Malik regularly hears a thump at the entryway. Cops, analytical organizations and families have all looked for the 38-year-old's assistance in managing mishaps or suicides.
Fabricated over 60 years prior, the Bhakra Main Line channel, which goes through four states in northern India, is a quiet sight that is frequently corrupted by the smell of dead bodies. The trench's floodgate entryway, where the water branches in two ways, is situated in Khanauri, which is where the bodies frequently go up.
Malik grew up alongside the canal in the state of Haryana. He was 12 when he found he discovered his skill for diving.
"A lady was washing her garments at the canal when she lost her balance," the bearded Malik recalled. "She cried for help and I jumped in as others watched on. I saved her life and a local newspaper carried the news with my photograph.”
Malik was excited when the cop in control compensated him for his dauntlessness with 50 rupees, under $1 in the present cash.
"That was five months' lease in 1991-92," he said happily. "My dad was a helpless man. He could barely handle it. He thought I had taken something."
Half a month later, the official gathered Malik again and offered him 80 rupees to fish out a body. The little youngster was terrified; the body was enlarged and disintegrated.
"In any case, I made a plunge, tied a rope around its leg and finished the work," he said.
