Actor Shah Rukh Khan’s NGO, Meer Foundation, has donated to the family of the 20-year-old Delhi hit-and-drag case victim Anjali Singh. A report published that the foundation came forward and donated an undisclosed amount to her family. Singh lost her life in a hit-and-run that took place in Delhi’s Kanjhawala on New Year’s night. Anjali was the family's sole breadwinner, consisting of her mother and siblings. The Meer Foundation aims to help the family, especially the mother with her health issues while providing adequate relief to her siblings.
Anjali was killed in the early hours of New Year after her scooter was hit by a car and she was reportedly dragged for over 12 kilometers under the vehicle on the city's roads. Seven accused in the case are now in the custody of Delhi Police. This isn't the first time that Meer Foundation come forward to help people. In June 2020, the NGO pledged support to the child who pulled on his dead mother at Muzaffarpur railway station amid the migrant crisis that year.
Meer Foundation shared a picture of the child with his grandparents and said it will look after his well-being. “#MeerFoundation is thankful to all who helped us reach this child, whose heart-wrenching video of trying to wake his mother disturbed all. We are now supporting him and he is under his grandfather’s care,” the organisation had tweeted.
Shah Rukh had also written on Twitter then, “Thank you all for getting us in touch with the little one. We all pray he finds strength to deal with the most unfortunate loss of a parent. I know how it feels...Our love and support is with you baby.”
